The Great Gatsby

Lake Country Playhouse is bringing F. Scott Fitzgerald's American classic to the stage with this adapted version of The Great Gatsby. Directed by Danny Polaski, the production captures the glamour and allure of the Jazz Age while exploring themes of ambition, love, and the illusions we chase. The story follows Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire whose real desire lies not in wealth or status, but in reconnecting with Daisy, a woman from his past who is now married to the domineering Tom Buchanan. When Daisy's cousin Nick becomes Gatsby's neighbor, he becomes caught between these characters and their tangled relationships. This staged reading format offers an intimate, character-focused experience perfect for families interested in classic literature brought to life. Rated PG-13, the show runs 75 minutes with a 15-minute intermission, making it accessible for a wide range of ages. Tickets are $15 per person. Multiple performance times are available, giving your family flexibility in scheduling your visit to this celebrated work of American storytelling.
