Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
We suggest PG 13

As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charley Brock, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Charley lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charley’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing his guests to scramble to get “the story” straight before the authorities arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. We suggest PG13

Michaela is new to Lofte Productions but not to theatre. Michaela has been involved in theatre for over 10 years, with experience ranging from elementary and High school in Yutan to college at Midland University and various community theaters. Some of her favorite shows she’s performed in include Pippin the Musical as Fastrada and Angel Street (Gaslight) as Inspector Rough. When not on stage, you can find Michaela playing video games and hanging out with their cat Naomi.
Paige is making her Lofte Community Theatre debut in Something Rotten! Paige is a junior BFA in Acting major at the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, where she is the proud marketing director of their student-run theatre company, Theatrix! Paige will be featured in Eurydice at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre as the Loud Stone this coming fall and has previously appeared on stage as Zina in Theatrix’s Act a Lady.
Rebecca is honored to once again grace the Lofte stage! You may have recently seen her here in Our Town (Among the Dead) and Moon Over Buffalo (Roz). Other credits include White Christmas (Ensemble - Chanticleer), and 9 to 5 (Candy Striper - Bellevue Little Theatre). Her offstage credits include Heathers (Stage Manager - SNAP!), and Plaza Suite (Props - Chanticleer [OEAA Nomination]). When not doing theatre, she enjoys kayaking, sewing, and being a silly scientist at her day job at the Omaha Children’s Museum. Much love to Holden, Pickles, Hop, and Jiji.
