Lawrence Old Guard Productions Since 1988 YOU are a "Lawrence Old Guard" if... 1) You have for a LONG time now (you decide how long) called Lawrence, Kansas your home. 2) You strive to encourage and model the high ideals upon which this town was founded, such as justice for all, freedom to think independently, and courage to oppose abuses of power. If this sounds like you, shine on brothers & sisters! Larry Carter www.LCarter.Com

On-going Productions:

The Pied Piper of Lawrence
I'm sponsored since 2006 by the Kansas Arts Commission (assuming it still exists) to conduct an afternoon Children's Theater Workshop, followed by an evening all-ages concert (original music & storytelling) where the workshop kids join me for a scene from my "Pied Piper: The Rest of the Story." For those with a larger budget, I bring in my 6-person theater troupe "Carter Performers" to perform the play and present a concert.

Tuesday Concert
This free, weekly concert series is now at the Lawrence Arts Center. As the opening act, I perform one song/tune then introduce the featured band or artist who performs a one-hour concert. See www.TuesdayConcert.Com.

Lawrence Scottish Fest
2011 was my 10th and final year producing this celebration of traditional and contemporary Scottish music and culture at the Lawrence Arts Center. During that time I was also the Emcee and performed with my band, Forest Green. See www.LawrencScots.Org.
