LAT to present 'The Door in the Cellar'

Lakes Area Theatre (LAT) is proud to present an original radio theater piece written by Minneapolis playwright Richard Liedholm.

The Door in the Cellar is from his series The Realm of Terror.

The last will and testament of an eccentric wealthy lady is to be read in the cellar of her mansion. The heirs all meet in the cellar to hear the will, but there is one stipulation to reaping an inheritance. The boarded up cellar door must be opened before all present.

But why? What is behind the door that is at all pertinent?

Find out at LAT Friday, August 26 at 7 p.m. The show is directed by Mike Roers and stars Claudia Bursch, Bruce McKirdy, Kip Sundlee, Lori McKirdy, Virgil Linn and Lars Markeson. Daniel Roers will provide sound effects. The playwright will also be on hand.

Call the box office at (320) 808-3841 to reserve your seats.
