MLT News

We are still here, doing what we can in these crazy times. We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure, when it’s time, that we’ll be ready to get back doing what we love.

We miss you all, audience, supporters, and volunteers, hope you are keeping safe and are as unaffected as possible by 2020’s challenges, and hope to see you as soon as possible.

What was to be our end-of-Apriil show, Outside Mullingar, has been postponed. If you had already puchased tickets, the box office will be in touch with you as soon as possible. More details, please see our updated A Note in Regard to COVID-19.

So far, we’re in a holding pattern – please see our current information here: A Note in Regard to COVID-19

Unfortunately, our “Outside Mullingar” Anthony has had to withdraw (before rehearsals started), due to other obligations. Anthony! We need you! Tuesday, February 18, 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Backstage. See Auditions for details!

The Dixie Swim Club opens next week – February 12 to 15 – and is the story of five unforgettable women in a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever. Don’t miss it – Get your tickets now!
