Lockwood Theater Compnay
The Lockwood Theater Company grew out of and is grounded in Northfield's rich theatrical tradition. The company produces a broad range of theatrical presentation. LTC's signature production is "Jesse", Northfield's treasured musical retelling of the story of notorious train and bank robber, Jesse James. Performed in the style of turn-of-the-century music hall melodramas, the audience is strongly encouraged to loudly cheer the heroes and hiss at the villains as the story unfolds through comedy and, of course, tragedy.
