As many of you have heard, thanks to the work and generosity of the Stark County District Library, Little Theatre now has a place to call home. We are now working out of the Education Center which is located at 1014 Cleveland Avenue NW, right behind the Civic Center.

Our family took a walking tour of Canton on Saturday and dear hubby snapped this awesome picture. This is our new home!

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.

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.
