TIME STAND STILL is closing, SEARCH FOR SIGNS is electrifying, and THE MUSIC MAN moves into theatre! This week at the Little Theatre!

Good afternoon friends of the Little Theatre,

Time Stands Still finished up its second week of performances last weekend- audiences are loving this challenging play, featuring a wonderful cast and direction by the amazing guest director, Teresa Thuman. There are only 5 more chances to see Donald Margulies' script come to life on the Little Theatre stage. Read more about the play and get your tickets by clicking HERE.

Have you heard the buzz? People are absolutely raving about about Jane Wagner's one woman tour de force The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. The play, featuring Suzy Newman, opened last Friday and audiences are jumping to their feet after experiencing an evening of theatre unlike anything you've ever seen! Here's what audience members are saying on facebook:

"I expected this show to be wonderful, and it was. Looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow night."

"SLO county, please go see The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe at the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre. Four more performances left and you won't want to miss the directing talents of Kevin Dale Harris or the acting amazingness of Suzy Newman. Go! "

"I had the honor of seeing The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe at the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre! It was a roller coaster for the imagination. Suzy Newman played multiple characters with such specificity and depth... It was a wonder to watch this incredible actress at work!
Seriously, y'all! It was real good."

Search for Signs is the 4th AFTERHOURS@SLOTheatre production of this year; the production only plays for 3 more performances. Read more about the show and get your tickets by clicking HERE.

The action on the Little Theatre stage moves from Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Time Stands Still) to River City, Iowa as The Music Man moves into the theatre for rehearsal this week. Ticket sales are already incredibly strong for this classic American musical (directed and choreographed by Zach Johnson and musical directed by Lacey McNamara.) Don't miss out on the good seats- read more about the play and get your tickets by clicking HERE.

We're wrapping up our 68th anniversary season in just a few months, but there's still plenty of great theatre to enjoy before it's finished! The Music Man, Copenhagen, Rapture Blister Burn, The Goat, and Between Iraq and Hard Place- what a great way to close out the Little Theatre's most ambitious, successful season in history! Check out our website to read about everything that's coming up! Don't miss a moment!

Have a great week, everyone!

It's "Throw-Back Thursday", PLAY ON hits a second weekend of shows, the first review is in and LOTS of photos!

Then and Now:

RAZZLE DAZZLE in 2007 and PLAY ON! today. It's "throw-back" Thursday and we thought it'd be fun to take a look back at another Suzy Miller show here at the Little Theatre, seven years ago. Wow - has it been that long? Whatever year it is, it's a Suzy Miller show and that always means great music, fantastic dance, delightful comedy and an incredibly talented cast!

But don't take our word for it, check out the New Times REVIEW by Jessica Pena and find out why:

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in it."

PLAY ON! A SUZY MILLER DANCE SPECTACULAR runs now through July 27th. We promise that you'll learn a little something about Shakespeare and popular culture, enjoy great music and dance and have a wonderful time. You'll also be supporting the Little Theatre while you do it! Join us for our new Thursday night performances OR come on down to the show on Saturday nights and have a martini at the bar!

David Caruso, Shaley Gunther, Nieko Lopez, Courtney Meznarich, Eric Kehela, MJ Johnson, Mike Dexter, Claire Gretlein, Arash Shahabi, Marissa Ribeiro, Breezie Rayas, Tabatha Skanes, Caitlin Tobin (Matti Kilpelainen, not pictured)

And since a picture is definitely worth a thousand words or more, take a look at some these images from the show courtesy of Jamie Foster Photography. Just a little taste to whet your appetite. You'll have to buy a ticket for the full course meal.

And there's so much more to enjoy!

Come on, just do it. 

You can get your tickets right HERE.
