Ragtime

April 25 - May 18, 2025
Directed by: Charity Robinson
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm., Sundays at 2:30 pm.
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America.
Book by:  Terrence McNally
Music by:  Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by:  Lynn Ahrens
Based on the novel Ragtime
By:  E.L. Doctorow
Ragtime (Version 1)
Is presented through special arrangement with
Music Theatre International (MTI).

Finding Nemo Jr

Date:  July 25, 26, 27, 2025
Time:  Friday and Saturday at 7:00 pm, Sunday at 2:30 pm
Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.

SLT Summer Youth Program Presents:
Cyrano de Burger Shack

Date:  August 1, 2, 3, 2025
Time:  Friday and Saturday at 7:00 pm, Sunday at 2:30 pm
Cyrano is king of the local Burger Shack, but he can't seem to win the love of his best friend, Roxanne. When Roxanne confesses her crush on the new burger-flipper, Christian, Cyrano decides that playing Cupid is better than sitting out of the game. An updated, modern-day version of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, this fun musical features hit contemporary pop songs that will have audiences cheering and singing along to songs made famous by The Go-Go's, Smash Mouth, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, John Mayer, Pat Benatar and Madonna, just to name a few.
