All American

LCT3 will open its 2011-2012 season with the world premiere of ALL-AMERICAN, by Julia Brownell, directed by Evan Cabnet.
ALL-AMERICAN is the story of a modern American family: suburban dad and former NFL star Mike Slattery works hard to make his daughter Katie the new star quarterback at her new school while ignoring her brainy twin brother Aaron. But Katie isn't sure she wants to keep playing and Mike's wife Beth isn't sure she wants to keep playing along.
