On our Side Door Stage for 2025-26, Lakewood Theatre Company presents The Lost Treasures Collection – a unique series of three plays. Each attraction is performed for one weekend only! Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM and a Saturday matinee at 2:00 PM. This year’s theme: 100 Years Of George Abbott.

Filled with two sets of twins, and women chased and chaste, The Boys from Syracuse was the first musical ever adapted from Shakespeare. Identical twins Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus were separated as children in a shipwreck. Both have menservants, also twins, both named Dromio. When the Syracuse set arrive in Ephesus, mishaps and mischief ensue as they are mistaken for their brothers by merchants, wives, and mistresses. Perplexed partners, disgruntled courtesans, and outraged constables are left in the duo’s wake before this show’s tangled web is unraveled.

The Lost Treasures Collection, now in its 15th season, is a series of obscure and rarely performed musicals curated by Dennis Corwin and presented in concert/cabaret version for one weekend only on our Side Door Stage. No sets, no props – none of the usual trappings of a fully staged production. Picture Portland’s foremost performers presenting some of the most beautiful, comedic, and witty songs of musical theatre. Food, wine, and other beverages are available for purchase before and during the show.
