The sneak preview last night was a smash! Who knew a bunch of French monks from the middle ages could be so absolutely hilarious? I'll tell you who knew. Director Jill Turnbow, that's who. The oh, so talented director of last season's "The House of Blue Leaves," and author and star of the amazing one-woman show "Between Iraq and a Hard Place" has done it again with INCORRUPTIBLE and if you don't have your tickets yet, you'd better hurry, because as soon as word gets out about this one, you'll be out of luck!

INCORRUPTIBLE features the talents of local actors Tom Ammon, John Geever, Clayton Greiman, Matthew Hanson, Bob Peterson, Anita Schwaber, Tabatha Skanes and Rosh Wright. That about says it all, doesn't it? A dream cast!  And have I mentioned the gorgeous set, designed by Dave Linfield, and the awesome lighting by Kevin Harris?

Not to mention the great costumes by Sharon Woodside, creative props by Charlene Premer and... aw heck, get a load of this great cast and crew!

Here's the deal, you've got four weekends to see this thing, and I'd recommend you click HERE and buy your tickets NOW. Better yet, why not buy season tickets for the whole dang 2013-2014 Season?! You'll guarantee yourself five incredible nights (or days!) of great LIVE theatre, fun with friends and, best of all, you won't ever hear the words SOLD OUT when trying to buy your tickets to INDEPENDENCE or MIRACLE ON 34th STREET or PROOF or even A CHORUS LINE. 

So, what are you waiting for?!! 

Join us in our intimate, air-conditioned, downtown San Luis Obispo Little Theatre and share some laughs, a great performance, and some keen insights into human nature courtesy of playwright Michael Hollinger, at our opening weekend of INCORRUPTIBLE!
