Queen of the Library is home grown by book writer, composer and director Seamus Schwaba, founder of Sugarloaf Community Theatre, lyrics by Isobel Kunshek. Come enjoy the variety of true characters from Lila THE LOUD ENERGETIC ONE to Harry Frogfish who is happy about literally everything all the time. And don’t forget the ghost of Beethoven who loves to spew indignant and strong opinions. Oh, and of course the Queen of the Library. Wait till you get a load of her ghostly self.
Community members—perhaps some your neighbors or relatives—are cast as follows, asterisk indicating a Sugarloaf Community Theatre debut.
