LCT3, Lincoln Center Theater’s programming initiative devoted to producing the work of new artists and developing new audiences, has announced the first two productions of its 2010-2011 season:  the world premieres of Off Broadway's THE COWARD, a new play by Nick Jones, directed by Sam Gold and  WHEN I COME TO DIE, a new Off Broadway play by Nathan Louis Jackson, directed by Thomas Kail.  Both productions will be presented at The Duke on 42nd Street, a New 42nd Street® project (229 West 42 Street).  A third LCT3 production will be announced at a later date.

THE COWARD, which begins performances at The Duke on 42nd Street Monday, November 8, running through Saturday, December 4, with an opening night scheduled for Monday, November 22, is a period comedy set in 18th century England.  A cowardly young gentleman named Lucidis initiates a pistol duel then finds that he can’t go through with it.  So he hires a common criminal to fight in his place, only to have the scoundrel make a bloody mess of things. As duel follows duel with many shots fired, this coward finds his reputation growing beyond his wildest expectations.

Nathan Louis Jackson returns to LCT where he made his New York playwriting debut this past fall with his play Broke-ology, also directed by Thomas Kail.  A writer for the television series Southland and the upcoming Shameless, he has participated in The Kennedy Center Summer Playwriting Intensive, William Inge 24 Hour Play Festival and Ebony Theater’s “The Word” (monthly poetry slam).  In addition to the LCT production of Broke-ology, Thomas Kail directed the play’s world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.  He received a Tony nomination for his direction of the musical In The Heights and directed the City Center Encores! production of The Wiz.  This fall he will direct the Broadway production of Lombardi, a new play by Eric Simonson.

Citing the need to develop strong relationships with new artists and to build new audiences, Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of Andre Bishop, Artistic Director, and Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer) created LCT3 to offer these artists fully staged productions.  LCT has just begun construction of a new theater, rehearsal and office space complex on the roof of the Vivian Beaumont Theater.  The 131 seat theater, to be named the Claire Tow Theater, is scheduled to open in 2012 and will be the home of LCT3.   Paige Evans is the Director of LCT3. 

Lincoln Center Theater concludes the celebration of its 25th year - a season of all new work - with the back-to back openings on consecutive nights of two world premieres.  On Sunday, June 27 A.R. Gurney’s The Grand Manner, directed by Mark Lamos, opens at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.  The following night, Monday, June 28 is the opening night for the current LCT3 production, On the Levee, a new play with music, conceived and directed by Lear deBessonnet, with play by Marcus Gardley and music and lyrics by Todd Almond, at The Duke on 42nd Street.  In addition to these two productions, LCT’s Tony Award-winning production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific continues at the Vivian Beaumont Theater where it will conclude is record-breaking run on Sunday, August 22.
