LCS PRODUCTIONS

Lon Chaffin created LCS in the early 1980s while writing software for home computers.  LCS simply stands for "Lon Chaffin Software."  In the late 80s, Lon was privileged to be part of a production team that created multiple musical theater productions.  He wrote lyrics, music, and created orchestrated accompaniments for the performances.  LCS then became LCS Productions.

The goal of LCS Productions is to create, produce, and provide quality art in musical and visual forms that is both accessible and challenging.
