SINGING IN THE RAIN packs the house, ROCK 'N' ROLL cruises toward opening, MUSIC MAN needs a cast, and TIME STANDS STILL begins rehearsals. This week at the Little Theatre!


Thank you to everyone who has come out and enjoyed our fundraising production of Singing in the Rain over the last two weekends! Audiences have been absolutely loving this live stage version of the classic American movie musical. There are only a handful of tickets left to the remaining 12 shows- click HERE to reserve yours instantly online today. Want to see the show but don't have tickets? Head on down to the box office an hour before the show begins and add your name to our waiting list. Although we cannot guarantee admission, we can generally seat all wait-listed patrons at each performance. You do not want to miss this show- after Sunday, March 15, it'll be gone forever!


Are you ready to rock? Our next Ubu's Other Shoe staged reading plays for just three shows: March 20 and 21. We are extremely proud to present Tom Stoppard's (Arcadia, The Real Thing) groundbreaking, mind-blowing drama Rock 'n' Roll. It is 1968 and the world is ablaze with rebellion, accompanied by a sound track of the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Clutching his prized collection of rock albums, Jan, a Cambridge graduate student, returns to his homeland of Czechoslovakia just as Soviet tanks roll into Prague. When security forces tighten their grip on artistic expression, Jan is inexorably drawn toward a dangerous act of dissent. Back in England, Jan's volcanic mentor, Max, faces a war of his own as his free-spirited daughter and his cancer-stricken wife attempt to break through his walls of academic and emotional obstinacy. Over the next twenty years of love, espionage, chance, and loss, the extraordinary lives of Jan and Max spin and intersect until an unexpected reunion forces them to see what is truly worth the fight.


If you love Stoppard, get your tickets now- this is going to be an amazing staged reading of an absolutely brilliant play. Click HERE to reserve your seats today.


We're looking for a dynamic cast to bring our spring musical The Music Man to life for our community! Director/choreographer Zach Johnson (Oklahoma, A Chorus Line) and musical director Lacey McNamara (The Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain) are looking to fill every role in the next few weeks; all roles are open! Interested? Click HERE to see all of the audition requirements. We love new faces at the Little Theatre- come out and audition for The Music Man!



We are thrilled to welcome guest director Teresa Thuman (Enchanted April, Proof)  back to the Little Theatre to helm Time Stands Still, by Donald Margulies, the 4th season production of the Little Theatre's 68 anniversary season. This award-winning drama focuses on Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life.

This is a wonderful play for our venue, and we are so happy to welcome Teresa back to SLO. Read reviews of the play and order your tickets HERE.

Thank you for your support of the Little Theatre, everyone! Have a wonderful week!

-Kevin
