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!

We're traveling 4000 MILES this weekend, 68 Years of LITTLE THEATRE HISTORY will be on display next weekend and you're invited to "Celebrate Charlene" on February 17th


"[4000 MILES] unfolds with the unassuming ease of conversations overheard, among people with complicated relationships." - Bloomberg

"Herzog’s....humor, honesty and narrative subtlety make this a rarity: a family play that avoids sentimentality or sitcom shtick" - Time Magazine

Plays like 4000 MILES are the reason that our UBU'S OTHER SHOE STAGED READING series exists. Challenging, award-winning, cutting-edge plays that are a joy to be performed and demand to be seen. Artistic Director Michael Siebrass reads a mind-boggling number of plays each and every year and this year he has chosen nine. All award-winners, all not your typical day at the theatre.

3 SHOWS: FRI @ 7 PM / SAT @ 2 PM & 7 PM
4000 MILES features a small, tight cast of actors, including Dixie Parker, Alpha O'Neal, Allen Negrete and Arisa Bega. The show is directed by Danielle McNamara. You can click HERE for a "shout-out" in today's New Times and click HERE for a thoughtful Washington Post article about the play.  Then I'd recommend you BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE before they disappear.


Let’s Put on a Show! is the title of an exhibit about the evolution of the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre that will be displayed at the History Center of San Luis Obispo County from February 4 through April 26, 2015. The exhibit will trace the development of the Little Theatre over the years with an emphasis on how it has evolved from a small, completely volunteer group of local citizens with a passion for theater into a professionally run, non-profit, performing arts organization that, in addition to fully staged plays, offers youth theater classes, staged readings, and other programming. The exhibit project was spearheaded by board member Michael Simkins and has been generously sponsored by Joan Gellert Sargen. Click HERE for more information, then join us for Art After Dark in downtown SLO next weekend!


Remembering Charlene... All of us here at the Little Theatre are still reeling from the news that our dear friend and dedicated volunteer Charlene Premer passed away last Sunday. The news was unexpected and devastating, however Charlene would rather we celebrate her life than mourn her passing, and that is exactly what we will do (and invite you to do) on February 17th at 11am at New Life Community Church in Pismo Beach. Per Charlene's request, this is a celebration of her life, so please do not wear black, and no flowers. I don't think she can stop us from shedding a few tears, but there will certainly be laughter as well. If you'd like to make a donation in Charlene's name, an account has been setup at Coast Hills Federal Credit Union for those who would like to honor her with a donation. The donations will help her family pay for cremation expenses and the balance will be donated in her honor to her favorite charities: Arthritis Foundation and Cancer Treatment Center.


SINGIN' IN THE RAIN: Don, Kathy & Cosmo | Photo by Jamie Foster Photography
There's a lot of singin' and dancin' and rehearsin' goin' on at the theatre these days and the whole "glorious feelin'" experience will be ready for YOU to enjoy on February 13th!  Click HERE for more information and we'll see you at the show!

FREE and reduced price tickets are available for ACT's production of THE SECRET GARDEN thanks to Central Coast Funds for Children

The Cast of The Secret Garden | Photos by Jamie Foster Photography
We recently received a generous $1,500 grant from the Central Coast Funds for Children in support of the Academy of Creative Theatre (ACT) production of The Secret Garden which runs January 16-25, 2015. Specifically, the grant underwrites discounted children’s tickets to ALL performances as well as a limited number of free tickets for children and families in collaboration with the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County (CAPSLO.) The tickets are being distributed through CAPSLO to families involved in Head Start and other programs for families and children.

Martha (Penny DellaPelle) and Mary (Campbell Ellery)
ACT’s production of The Secret Garden is directed by Shelagh Garren and features 12 student actors from the Little Theatre’s ACT educational program. The classic children’s story, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, centers around Mary Lennox, a young orphan, who is sent to England to live with her invalid cousin and reclusive Uncle Archibald on his mysterious estate. When Mary discovers a hidden, locked garden, her life is changed forever. With the help of the warmhearted maid Martha; Dickon, the boy who understands the language of animals; the crusty gardener, Ben, and, of course, the robin who leads her to the garden, Mary brings both the neglected garden and her family back to life. A magical story of hope, renewal, and the transforming power of love, this heartwarming story is ideal for children and families.

Ben Weatherstaff (Conner Allen)
The Secret Garden runs January 16-25, 2015 at the Little Theatre on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 pm. The cast includes young actors from throughout the County: Jayda Monreal, Campbell Ellery, Sienna Ritter, Linnea Marks, Brooke Andris, Penny DellaPelle, Elizabeth Tharp, Trevyn Wong, Conner Allen, Zoe Peach-Riley, Raegan Lunceford and Riley Hutcheson.

Dickon (Trevyn Wong) and Colin Craven (Linnea Marks)
“Participating in theatre encourages creativity and builds self-confidence” says ACT Coordinator Kerry DiMaggio. “ACT provides a creative, artistic, educational and FUN outlet for children who might not otherwise be engaged with their peers or other important adult role models. This generous grant from the Central Coast Funds for Children enables us to share this production of The Secret Garden, not only with the students performing in the production, but with children and families throughout the county who might not otherwise be able to attend.”

Thank you Central Coast Funds for Children for helping us to share high quality live theatre with children and families from all across the county!

For more information about THE SECRET GARDEN or to make your reservations, click HERE.

ABOUT THE ACADEMY OF CREATIVE THEATRE
If you haven't yet heard about the programs of the Little Theatre's Academy of Creative Theatre, it's time you did! ACT provides year-round theatrical training for youth ages 5-18 (kindergarten through 12th grade.) ACT’s after-school programs, summer camps and theatrical production classes inspire young performers and technicians to develop skills which will benefit them throughout their lives, both on and off the stage. Students involved in ACT learn from professional artists in programs designed to help students explore creative self-expression and individuality. Whether our students choose to pursue theatre as a career, as volunteers or as audience members, our hope is their experience at the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre will help them to develop a greater appreciation of the theatre arts and a stronger connection to their community.

SPRING THEATRE CLASSES
ACT is now accepting registrations for its Spring 2015 Theatre Classes.  All ACT classes take place in a lively, nurturing, fun environment and are taught by professional teaching artists who are passionate and skilled at working with young performers.  ACT classes stretch the imagination, encourage teamwork and collaboration, and help students develop listening and speaking skills, all while promoting creativity and self-esteem.

Mary (Campbell Ellery ) surrounded by taunting children 
ACT is offering a variety of classes this spring for all age ranges and levels of experience beginning February 23 and running through April 29. A Spring Break camp will also be available April 6-10.

A brand new LIGHTING SYSTEM, AUDITIONS on Sunday, SPELLING BEEs are fun, AND Happy HALLOWEEN!

CFSLOCO's Janice Fong Wolf, Kevin Harris and Board President
Bryce Engstrom in the booth with our new light board.
Thanks to two generous grants from The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County, we are looking pretty spiffy these days, both onstage and off, here at the Little Theatre. In October, we received a very generous grant of $5,000 to fund the purchase of a new state-of-the-art computerized lighting console replacing our 23 year old “antique” light board. The new system is able to be programmed with multiple lighting designs for multiple shows and will greatly enhance the experience of both audiences and technicians alike during our ambitious 2014-15 Season.

Intern extraordinaire Ellis Beardsley displaying our new tickets and color print materials.
In addition to our gorgeous new light board, we also have new printers! Almost a year ago now, we received a grant of $2,850 through the Foundation to purchase a new thermal ticket printer and a new color printer/scanner. It took awhile to find the perfect ticket printer AND to program it to work with our ticketing system, but now, you can actually read the seat numbers on your tickets and our publicity materials really stand out in full color!  Many thanks to our Community Foundation for their generous support!


Every time we turn around lately, it seems like it's time for more auditions. I love it! Our next Ubu's Other Shoe staged reading to hit the rehearsal room will be MISS WITHERSPOON by Christopher Durang. Director Kelly Fidopiastis needs five or six talented actors and actresses to bring this deliciously offbeat comedy to life. Auditions are this Sunday at 4 pm and Monday at 6 pm. Hope to see you here. Click HERE for all the details.

If musicals are more to your talents and taste, be sure to dust off your tap shoes and come on down on November 23 and 24 for SINGIN' IN THE RAIN auditions. This is going to be our biggest musical of the year, so warm up those vocal chords and stretch those dancing muscles. You can check out audition requirements and the roles available HERE, then come on down and "make 'em laugh...make 'em laugh...make 'em laugh!"


When the trick or treating (in the rain or under moonlight!) is done, the party is definitely NOT over! If you like LIVE, ORIGINAL, FREE late-night theatre, come on down for a one-of-a-kind Halloween party at NO SHAME THEATRE. Because when NO SHAME and HALLOWEEN collide, you never know what might happen. The doors open at 9:30 pm, we'll accept your original five minute scripts at 10 pm and the show starts at 10:30 pm.


Saw a rehearsal for THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM VALLEY SPELLING BEE last night and we are in for a real treat! This Tony Award winning musical comedy opens next Friday, November 7th. Directed by Dana Shaheen, the laughs and songs come fast and funny and don't be surprised if YOU wind up on stage joining the BEE! Click HERE for more info and tickets.

And finally....THRILLER!  It's an oldie, but it's also a goodie. So, in honor of Halloween, here's a little zombie action just to get you in the mood.  Have a fun Halloween weekend! ~ Patty

A rare DARK weekend at the Little Theatre but PICASSO is on its way!


So, Picasso and Einstein walk into a bar...

Do you like to laugh? Then you're going to LOVE our next show, opening next week here at the Little Theatre! Steve Martin's PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE goes into tech rehearsals this weekend, adding lights and sound and more to the mix that will become another great show here at the Little Theatre.

In this long-running Off Broadway hit, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meet in a Parisian café in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated artist set the world afire with cubism. Director Suzy Newman has assembled an amazing cast for this absurdist comedy by actor, author and comedian Steve Martin. You can read Suzy's thoughts about the play in her Director's Notes from the playbill HERE.


Scenic artist Lisa Langere has been working every day this week on her "forgery" of Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon  and it is going to blow you away when it's finished. The mural is just one element of the wonderful set design by David Linfield for the show, and the set design is just one element of this show that is absolutely going to raise the bar on everything else we do here.

Opening night is nearly sold-out but there are still great seats available for the rest of the 3-week run of the show. But you'd better hurry, they'll be gone before you know it. Click HERE to get yours today.


The timeless tale of a special place where magic, hope, and love grow.

The Academy of Creative Theatre will be holding auditions for their January production of The Secret Garden on October 14 and 16. Director Shelagh Garren is looking for 12 young actors to fill out the cast of this enchanting adaptation of the children’s literature classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Auditions are by appointment only. You can get all the details about our growing educational programs and learn more about audition requirements for The Secret Garden right HERE. To make an appointment, please email Education Director Kerry DiMaggio by clicking HERE.



That's right!  October is National Arts & Humanities month and that is something to celebrate! There is so much great ART going on in San Luis Obispo County and that's one of the many reasons why we love it so much. We hope you'll find a way to pARTicipate in the arts this month, whether it's attending PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE, or enjoying OPEN STUDIOS, the SAN LUIS OBISPO SYMPHONY, OPERA SLO's community production of AIDA, the CAMBRIA CENTER FOR THE ARTS' production of BOEING BOEING or any number of other fabulous performances or galleries on the Central Coast. Looking for ideas?  Check out Arts Obispo's new arts calendar right HERE.


Even though the Little Theatre is dark this weekend, there are still many opportunities to get out there and enjoy the ARTS this weekend and throughout October. The arts bring life and color, humor, drama, insight, delight and so much more to our lives. For a Top 10 list of reasons to support the arts in 2014, check out Randy Cohen's Arts Blog HERE and thank you for your support of the performing arts and the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre.

And yes, just for fun, and because it's awesome. I leave you with Steve Martin's timeless performance of KING TUT.  You're welcome.

Have a great weekend!

PINOCCHIO's adventures, AUDITIONS galore and RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN!


PINOCCHIO is everywhere today! First of all, there's a lovely photo and a BIG thanks to Central Coast Funds for Children in the GOOD NEWS section of the Tribune today. There's an awesome video featuring two of our young actors, and the lovely Kerry DiMaggio, on the KSBY WEBSITE (and it will air on the 6 pm news tonight too!) We're also a HOT DATE in New Times today and finally, check out the great review by Joan Crowder in today's Tribune TICKET (It's not posted online yet, but you can pick up a copy of the Tribune at your local market!)


This is a great show for young and old alike, and it's rapidly selling out for our two remaining weekends, so make your reservations now to ensure your seats. Here... I'll make it easy for you: just CLICK HERE for your tickets NOW!


So much theatre, so little time....

Seriously, I know Kevin told you all about this a couple of days ago, but it bears repeating again and again...and again. Come on out and audition for a show! First of all, there's PROOF  next weekend, January 25-26. Director Teresa Thuman will be in town all the way from Seattle to see what you've got, so come on down to the theatre and give it a shot. What have you got to lose? CLICK HERE for more information about the play, roles available and preparing for your audition.

 If you love to act, but don't feel like you have enough time for a full production, why not try out for one of our Ubu's Other Shoe staged readings?  Great theatre, limited rehearsal time and just two performances. The next auditions will be February 5th at 6:30 pm for a staged reading of PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS, directed by Lisa Woske. Five roles, hilarious play. CLICK HERE for everything you need to know before the audition.

Last, but most certainly not least....A CHORUS LINE!!  You know who you are. You love to sing, you love to dance, THIS is the show you were born to do! And working with director/choreographer Zach Johnson and Musical Director Lacey McNamara is going to be a blast. Mark your calendars now for Feb. 18, 19, 25 & 26, then CLICK HERE for all the details on preparing your audition.  


Finally, just a quick note from the girl who works upstairs at the theatre. Remember her? It's me. There are definitely a few perks to be had when you work late at the Little Theatre. Sometimes you get to overhear the rehearsals for the next show. And if you're really lucky, the next show is a musical. And if you're really, REALLY lucky, the musical features some of the most beautiful songs ever written by two of Broadway's most prolific and legendary teams:  RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN!

Well lately... It's a Grand Night for Singing as I sit In My Own Little Corner in My Own Little Room. I may be As Corny as Kansas in August, but sometimes I feel Younger than Springtime as I spend Some Enchanted Evenings in my little office upstairs. Musicals are definitely one of My Favorite Things

You may not be able to sit upstairs and listen to rehearsal, but you can get your tickets early for SOME ENCHANTED EVENING: THE SONGS OF RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN. Trust me, you'll love it. Opens on  Valentine's Day, February 14th. Not a bad idea for a date with your sweetheart. 

Ok. Enough singing for now. I hope to see you at the Little Theatre soon. Have a great weekend. :)

~Patty

P.S. And just because I absolutely LOVE this one... here it is. Hugh Jackman in the 1999 production of OKLAHOMA!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Many thanks to director Lisa Woske and the wonderful cast and crew of Miracle on 34th Street for an amazing, record-breaking run! Thank you for making the holidays a little brighter for all the folks who flocked to see your show.

The Little Theatre will be "dark" until January 2nd. The box office will be closed but you can still buy tickets for Pinocchio, Other Desert Cities, Some Enchanted Evening and even $25 Gift Certificates ONLINE.  The box office will be re-open at 11 am on January 2nd.

The lobby will open at 9:30 pm, original script submissions will be accepted at 10 pm and exciting, original NO SHAME theatre will take the stage at 10:30 pm.

'Tis the Season for Giving, for Celebrating and for Enjoying some Great Holiday Shows!


GIVE THE GIFT OF LIVE THEATRE

In Miracle on 34th Street, a very practical little girl named Susan (as well as the entire city of New York!) learns how to "believe even when common sense tells you not to." Common Sense. Some might say that anyone who chooses to work in the unpredictable world of live theatre, does NOT have that trait in abundance. But one thing we do have is the ability to believe, especially when common sense tells us not to!

This year at the Little Theatre, we have two fabulous holiday shows running eight shows per week, an additional Ubu's Other Shoe staged reading with two performances next week and our Academy of Creative Theatre students grab the theatre whenever it's not already booked to rehearse Pinocchio (opening January 10th!) This is a very busy place in December and sometimes I wonder how we ever get it all done! We have a very small staff and a very tight budget but with the help of 300 miraculous volunteers, somehow we're able to produce 10 great shows, reaching over 14,000 people on 44 out of 52 weekends every year--and we've been doing it for over 67 years! How, you may ask? It's a mystery.


Actually, the answer lies in the fact that we LOVE it. We believe in live theatre and, with your help, it's always possible. Many thanks to the over 250 individuals and businesses who have already made a donation to the Little Theatre this season. Thank you for playing your part in bringing the magic of live theatre to San Luis Obispo! In particular, we'd like to thank the many people who have made a special end of year donation. If you'd like to join them, we'd love to welcome you to the family. You can help make the new year a bright one for the Little Theatre by making your tax deductible contribution right HERE.


TICKETS ARE GOING FAST!
If you have not yet gotten your tickets for MIRACLE ON 34th STREET and THE SANTALAND DIARIES, you'd best get on it!!  Santaland is sold-out tonight and well on it's way to that status for it's remaining three shows! You can purchase your tickets for this hilarious comedy featuring Kevin Harris, HERE.  And as for our heartwarming production of Miracle, there are just 11 shows remaining and all are nearly sold-out. So, come on!  Get up off that sofa and have a little holiday fun!  You can purchase your tickets right HERE



AN UNUSUAL MONOPOLY GAME
Next week's Ubu's Other Shoe staged reading features a monopoly game that you won't soon forget. Join us for A HOTEL ON MARVIN GARDENS, Nagle Jackson's hilarious metaphor on corporate greed. The dates are December 17th and 18th at 7pm. If you come on Tuesday, you can stay for a talk-back with the cast and director Cynthia Anthony. Find out more and get your tickets HERE.



All of us here at the Little Theatre wish you a happy and healthy holiday season filled with the love of family and good friends and the magic that is live theatre. Hope to see you soon for a show, but until then, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

~ Patty

SANTALAND is coming to town and MIRACLE is selling out - Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


Crumpet the Elf has his own very special take on the holiday season. You can't blame him. He's spending 30 days in an elf suit guiding parents and children through the oh, so happy Macy's Santaland in New York City. It takes courage, a strong stomach and a good sense of humor.


Opening this Saturday night, November 30th, you can experience the "magic" of Christmas through the eyes of humorist and author David Sedaris in the late-night comedy cult classic THE SANTALAND DIARIES. Starring Kevin Harris and directed by Suzy Newman, this one-man-show is the perfect holiday nightcap after a day of shopping or an evening out with friends. The special bonus holiday show will be performed on Friday and Saturday nights only at 9:15 pm, immediately following MIRACLE ON 34th STREET. Click HERE for more information and tickets.


If you haven't reserved your tickets yet, you better do it now! This delightful holiday classic that reminds us "to believe even when common sense tells us not to" is selling out fast! 


Based on the beloved 1947 film, MIRACLE ON 34th STREET is a charming re-telling of the tale of Kris Kringle, a nice old man who comes to New York one Christmas season and winds up unleashing waves of good will throughout the city and sparking a hint of  magic in the heart of a very practical little girl. It's a sweet tale, directed by Lisa Woske and performed by a talented cast who are clearly having a ball bringing this story to life! This is the one to share with the kids and the grandkids, folks. Click HERE for more information and tickets.


Join us for a special staged reading of
Ben & Rita
by Wendy-Marie

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2 @ 7 PM
SAN LUIS OBISPO LITTLE THEATRE

$10 PER PERSON AT THE DOOR

Sometimes fate lives right next door.

Rita's desperate need for attention has driven away everyone she's ever known. Ben never got close enough to anyone to scare them off in the first place. In fact, he hasn't left his apartment in ten years. But When Rita's recently widowed daughter, Eve, and teenage child, Sammy, come to live with Rita, the walls are broken down, literally. As Rita and Ben's worlds collide, they are faced with a choice. Continue to live in fear or take a chance on love?

Directed by Katie Mack with a fantastic cast including Suzy Newman, Makayla DuBois, Clara Jane Fulks and Randy Pound



The Little Theatre will be "dark" on both Thursday and Friday nights as we share the Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. We'll be back on Saturday afternoon with two performances of MIRACLE ON 34th STREET at 2 pm and 7 pm and then opening night of THE SANTALAND DIARIES at approximately 9:15 pm, immediately following Miracle. And then of course, we'll have another matinee and another evening performance of Miracle on Sunday, so you've got plenty of opportunities to join us -- and we really hope you will. 

We wish you all a very happy holiday weekend filled with good things to eat and dear friends and family to share it with. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

~Patty
