Return to the Forbidden Planet

Jan. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- LCPC's Drama Ministry proudly presents, RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET this February, directed by Justin S. Fisher (THE LAST FIVE YEARS).  This rock-opera, musical comedy based on William Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST is Part 2 in the LCPC Drama Ministry’s 2011/2012 Season, “Shakespeare 3 Ways.”

RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET is a unique way to experience Shakespeare’s writing through comedy & song.  This show is a hilarious mash-up of classic literature, science fiction, and golden oldies such as 'Teenager in Love', 'Born to be Wild' & 'Great Balls of Fire' which everyone will enjoy.  "I wanted to do something new and challenging with the show, so we pulled together a wonderful cast that are not only actors and singers, but will also play instruments to provide the music.  This production is fun for the whole family--with robots, aliens, and or course, TRUE LOVE!. The pop-rock music blends with the excitment of the story and is a show you don't want to miss.  FORBIDDEN PLANET proves once and for all that LCPC's Drama Ministry is 'Born To Be Wild'!" says Justin Fisher, LCPC’s Drama Ministry Director.

The Drama Ministry will follow THE RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET, with THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) in May, a hilarious look at all things Shakespeare.

RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET will take place in the Worship Arts Center of La Canada Presbyterian Church for one week-end only: Friday 2/24 & Saturday 2/25 at 8 pm; Sunday 2/26 at 2 pm.  General Admission $15; student with ID $10.  Free parking, air conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

In 2010 the church completed a campus expansion which doubled its
