LLCC Traveling Theatre class to perform “Operation Super Hero” in December

The LLCC Traveling Theatre class is going on the road for a series of 16 performances in the central Illinois area beginning Dec. 3. The 17 cast members will present their children’s theatre production of “Operation Super Hero,” at four different locations every day on Dec. 3, 4, 10 and 11.

Adjunct theatre instructor Ken Bradbury said that the experience harkens back to the days of traveling tent shows and vaudeville. “It’s a joyous and grueling experience,” said Bradbury. “The Lincoln Land vans pull up, we unload the equipment truck, set up the show in fifteen minutes and the curtain’s up.” The traveling troupe will be performing for approximately 3,000 elementary and middle school students in this year’s road tour.

Bradbury is especially gratified that many of this year’s LLCC actors signed up for the class because their first introduction to theatre came by watching the previous Lincoln Land theatre tours. “So many of my students tell me that they once sat in the audience and said, ‘I want to do that some day.’”
