LANSING, Mich. (August 6, 2024) – Lansing Community College’s Performing Arts has unveiled its exciting lineup for the 2024-25 theatre season, promising a diverse array of productions that cater to a wide audience. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in store:
The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

When teenager Percy Jackson discovers he’s a demigod, he and his friends embark on an epic journey to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods.
Cosplay

Director: Paige Tufford
November 8-16, 2024 - Black Box Theatre
Leslie meets Michael in “Zombie Apocalypse,” an online role-playing game where the human race is under attack and anyone can be anyone with the ease of a single click. Their bond over a mutual enemy quickly turns into a game-playing partnership, but when a video game convention brings them face to face in real life, they find that fighting zombies is far less complicated than human connection.
Crime and Punishment
Adapted by Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus
From the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Director: Andy Callis
February 21 - March 1, 2025 - Black Box Theatre
This award-winning adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s literary masterpiece Crime and Punishment is told by three actors playing Raskolnikov (the murderer), Porfiry Petrovitch (the detective), Sonia (the young prostitute) and many other characters in this famous story. The play is a psychological landscape which creates a thrilling journey into the mind of a killer and his search for redemption.

by Matt Cox
Director: Blake Bowen
April 11-19, 2025 - Dart Auditorium
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.
Puffs is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed or endorsed by J.K Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play.
Capping off the regular season will be two additional shows including a production from an alumnus of LCC and a play written by a current LCC employee.
Excitingly, all performances will now begin at 7:00 p.m., an hour earlier than previous seasons, and all shows will be free admission, thanks to LCC’s commitment to increasing accessibility to quality entertainment for the Lansing community.
