Theatre Season Starting – Mark your calendars!!!

The Stark County District Library will be launching their 2011-2012 theatre season with “A Very Merry Who-ville Christmas“.  The really great thing is we are launching the new season in our NEW HOME!!!  That’s right…thanks to the Stark County District Library, the Little Theatre Troupe has a place where we can rehearse, practice and put on our performances.  We will be operating out of the Education Center at 1014 Cleveland Ave. NW.  That is the church-like building right behind the Canton Civic Center.  This is where we have held our final performances in the last few years.

Auditions for A Very Merry Who-ville Christmas will be held Tuesday, September 13 and Thursday, September 15 at the Education Center.  Auditions start at 6pm on both days.  This production is for actors between the ages of 5 and 13.  Every child in that age group that auditions will receive a part, no one is ever left out.

Also, mark your calendars for the Friends of the Little Theatre Troup Fall Fest.  It will be held in the Education Center on Saturday, September 17.  More details shortly.

Everyone is doing a great job.

Script Read-Through and Cast Assignments Tonight!!

Just a reminder that tonight at 6pm at the Jackson Branch of the Stark County District Library is the whole cast read-through.  Tonight is when your budding Broadway stars get their roles and see the script for the very first time.

If you have highlighters, you might want to bring one so they can mark their lines in the script.

See you there.

We Have a New Look to our Program!

Thanks to the hard work of Brian Johnson, a Little Theatre parent, we have an awesome new look to our program.  Check out the front and back covers.  Brian is one of many parents and guardians who volunteer their time and energies to making The Stark County District Library Little Theatre Troupe a big success.

Thanks for Saturday!

WOW!  A big heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this past Saturday’s Friends of the Little Theatre Troupe Fun Day a success!  We saw some new faces as well as some of the veteran LTTers.  Imagine me standing up applauding for the wonderful Italian Dinner that Diane Becker organized and prepared, as well as all the people who helped her in the kitchen and in the dining area.  The Encore Players were fantastic with their ‘dinner theatre’ rendition of “Who Stole the Meatball?”  (boy, I’m glad they found it – Big Mama was very upset.)  Our Terrifically Talented Teens were also our servers, and a fine job they did.

Lynne Montgomery called our business meeting to order at 3:25pm and the main business was the voting of Board Members for the upcoming term.  Cindy Tonges will be extending her term on the Friends’ Board and Danielle Hayduk was overwhelmingly voted in to fill the slot that opened up when Trish Herbert wasn’t able to serve another term.  We want to take this opportunity to thank Trish for all her hard work on the board since 2007 and welcome Danielle on-board.

Now that the new theatre season is heating up, expect more activity on the blog and Facebook.  Looking forward to a great season ahead.
