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.

August 3 – August 11 Murder for Two 15 16 lyceumtheatre.org Director’s Notes

Welcome to Dahlia’s creepy mansion! She loves tea and performing. She especially loves a good mystery. If you do, too, you’ve come to the right place! But don’t worry, there are plenty of other wacky characters if Dahlia isn’t your cup of tea (but don’t let her know that, she IS a suspect to MURDER so you never know WHAT she will do next). Speaking of suspects, there are actually 10…but whodunit?

Was it –

Dahlia – the victim’s loopy widow Murray and Barb Flandon – the victim’s bickering neighbors Steph Whitney – the overeager grad student Barrette Lewis – a self-incriminating ballerina Dr. Griff – a friendly local psychiatrist Timmy, Yonkers, and Skid – members of an antiquated boys’ choir Henry Vivaldi – a late arrival

Officer Marcus is on the case, but will he solve it in time (meaning by the end of the show of course, we wouldn’t leave you hanging…or would we…)?

Who was murdered? Well only the famous novelist Arthur Whitney! And at his own birthday party, too. He sure went out with a BANG (yes, as in a gunshot).

Oh, and last but not least, there are only two actors in the play… two actors and 14+ parts. It will be an interesting, spooky, kooky, musical comedy kind of evening! So sit back and see if you can figure out who shot Arthur Whitney before Officer Marcus does, or before Dahlia drives everyone crazy.

Welcome to Murder for Two!
