Message from Our New President: Show Selected and New Exec!

Hi LOST!

I am writing to announce that we have officially picked a show for the fall semester!

We will be doing Moonchildren, by Michael Weller!

Originally titled Cancer, this play from the author of Split and Loose Ends explores the rootless 60’s generation of free-love and protest. Five male college seniors and their housemates have no purpose in their lives. They march against the status quo and taunt the “pigs”. One feels genuine emotion at his mother’s death from cancer, one romance dies and another is aborted. Ultimately, they realize their lives are as empty as the establishment they protest so vehemently against.

If you are interested in directing or producing for this show (or assistant directing/assistant producing!), please fill out this form.

Also, we are happy to announce the new LOST exec:

President: Kai Beasley

Treasurer: Sophia Chen

Members-at-Large: Katrina Chan & José Soto

Webmaster: Tristan Chaang

Thanks everyone, and here’s to a great semester ahead of us!

Kai Beasley

President of LOST

Tldr; Reserve free tickets to LOST’s first original show here! Opening this Friday 4/11 in KLT!!

In a world where tradition and legacy are constantly at odds with advocates for change, siblings Elle and Fritz find themselves caught between the fractured pieces of their powerful family’s empire and the scandal that has fallen over their name. Tasked with organizing a dinner-turned-high-profile gala in her mother’s absence, Elle tries to keep the event-and her family’s fragile reputation-from unraveling as Fritz fights for their own perception of justice. When survival demands a sacrifice, what-and who-will be left behind?
