The Playhouse Senior Radio Active Players provide theatre opportunities for seniors ages 55+. Each year, the Radio Active Players audition, rehearse and perform a production for audiences with scripts in hand. Past shows include Fiddler on the Roof Sr., Oklahoma Sr., The Music Man Sr., Grease: The School Edition, Singin' in the Rain Sr., Carol Burnett Classics, Godspell Sr., and Sondheim Tribute Revue.
Senior Show Announced for 2026
Lincoln Community Playhouse is proud to be one of the three pilot productions of a new Broadway Sr. show, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying Sr.
Auditions will be held August 4 and 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with callbacks on August 6. Actors, age 55 and older, should bring a short song (around 90 seconds) and an accompanist will be provided. There will also be readings from the script. Many roles are available.
Rehearsals will be held Tuesday through Thursday, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Performances are September 19 and 20, both at 2:00 pm. Actors will be able to use scripts during the performance.
How to Succeed in Business Without Trying Sr. is an abridged version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical comedy with book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. The show is about the rise of window washer, J. Pierpont Finch, to chairman of the board and is a hysterical lampoon of the business world.
Morrie Enders will direct with Shauna Shaefer as music director. Enders noted, "Lincoln Community Playhouse was instrumental in the creation of Broadway Sr. with Music Theatre International and directing this pilot production is a fitting conclusion to my tenure as Executive Director."
Lincoln Community Playhouse is supported by 10/11 Show You Care and KFOR.
