About the Lyceum

If Walls Could Speak... What a story they would tell! More than half a century ago, an amazingly committed group of dreamers set out to create the unlikely theatre that we continue to enjoy today. And what a dream! In 1961, Arrow Rock lacked its current picturesque environs. According to Founding Artistic Director, Henry Swanson, “The town was essentially in the last stages of decay and disrepair...” The Lyceum’s first home was in an abandoned church dating back to the 1870s, the lobby through which you entered into the theatre today. With the hope of keeping it from being torn down and salvaged for lumber, two Arrow Rock couples, the Lawrences and the Argubrights, purchased the church and began thinking about starting a theatre. Swanson, a professor at Christian College in Columbia was engaged as the theatre’s first Artistic Director. Swanson said, “I have always felt that good plays, well-acted, could draw an audience anywhere so I told them I would take a crack at it.” Swanson produced the first season for $3,500, $1,800 of which went toward a new roof. When Mr. Swanson retired from the Theatre in 1979, Michael Bollinger was named the Lyceum’s second Artistic Director. During Mr. Bollinger’s 25 year tenure, he expanded The Lyceum’s reach by introducing 20th century musicals to the repertoire, increasing attendance dramatically. In 1983, The Lyceum became the first theatre in Missouri to receive an award from the Missouri Arts Council (MAC). By 1990, thanks to increasing attendance and with the help of state income tax credits granted under the Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and generous supporters, The Lyceum was able to raise several hundred thousand dollars to expand the theatre from 200 seats to the new 416-seat auditorium that you sit in today. In 2004 The Lyceum’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Philip Coffield, a Lyceum veteran actor, director and 20 year Associate Artistic Director, as the theatre’s third Artistic Director. Mr. Coffield made plans for his first season, cast the shows and hired the many company members, but regrettably, due to mounting health issues, was unable to complete his first season as Artistic Director. Quin Gresham, a fellow Lyceum veteran and recently appointed Associate Artistic Director, stepped in as Artistic Director and went on to produce the 2005 Season. Sadly, Mr. Coffield passed away in early 2006, a loss felt deeply not just at The Lyceum, but throughout the entire theatre community. At the end of 2005, the Board of Directors asked Mr. Gresham to remain in Arrow Rock as The Lyceum’s fourth Artistic Director. Quin immediately proposed changing the theatre’s rotating repertory schedule to a stock season and, with the enthusiastic support of The Lyceum’s Board of Directors, restructured the theatre’s management approach. In 2006, Steve Bertani joined The Lyceum team as the theatre’s first Managing Director. Together, Mr. Bertani and Mr. Gresham continue to make facility improvements and to increase production quality, attendance, sponsorships and private support. In 2010 The Lyceum celebrated its 50th Season and, to celebrate this anniversary, more than half a million dollars was raised to ensure a good start to our second half century. The Lyceum Theatre is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization and is affiliated with Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States, and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, a theatrical labor union. The Lyceum is considered one of Missouri’s oldest professional theatres and has a Board of Directors representing communities throughout Missouri.

September 19 – September 29 Swingtime Canteen 13 14 lyceumtheatre.org Director’s Notes

Swingtime Canteen holds a very special place in my heart. It was the show in which I got my Actors’ Equity card, and became my bread and butter professionally for several years. That first production was not only challenging and fulfilling, but also connected me with women who would become lifelong friends. Among those women is the always funny, supremely talented Marcy McGuigan, who I have worked with in too many shows to count, both as her director and a fellow actor.

I am just so thrilled to have her in this production among all of the other fierce women in this cast that I have a close friendship with (Katie Barton), have always wanted to work with again (Danielle Erin Rhodes) or am meeting and working with for the first time (Kelsey Beckert and Caitlin Witty). Plus an all-female swingin’ band? It doesn’t get much better than that!

I love that Swingtime is seeing a resurgence in regional theatres. It is a witty, touching show with truly some of the best music from the big-band era and fleshed out, lovable, iconic characters. I know that you will be humming these tunes for many days to come and hope that the patriotic, heartfelt message resonates for you as much as it has for me over these many years. Enjoy!

−Amy E. Jones
