To our loyal SLT Patrons,   
September 24, 2020

As we try to make our way out from under this pandemic, we at SLT hope you are all making headway through its daily challenges.  We, too, have been battling with uncertainties as we have tried to make plans for our ’20-’21 season.  As we navigate through the governor’s executive orders, the requirements of our publishing companies, and the schedules of cast and crew members, we do not want to overlook the health, well being, and comfort of our members and loyal patrons. Therefore, we are forced to make changes to our normal season.  

The most important adjustment is that SLT will not be selling the regular 3-show season ticket package.  All tickets for the ’20-’21 season will be sold individually.  If you were a season ticket holder in ‘19-’20, you will be able to purchase tickets at the Season Ticket Subscriber discount on a show by show basis. Additionally, season ticket holders from ‘19-’20 will be able to resume the reservation of their previous seat(s) and performance night preference when season tickets for ‘21-’22 are made available.We are hoping to return to our traditional season ticket process in our ’21-22 season  Please know we value your season ticket loyalty over the years; however, with the uncertainty of when recommended health guidelines will be lifted, we just cannot offer the package this year.

Our fall show, Clue-On Stage, will not be performed this season.  We plan to produce this show in the future.  Unfortunately, live theatre at SLT will remain on hold until 2021.  We hope that we will be able to produce the winter show, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in February and The Sound of Music in May.  The status of these productions is dependent on our ability to provide a safe, quality theatre experience.

We know this will create some questions and concerns.  You may direct them to tickets@smithfieldlittletheater.org.  We will answer them as quickly as possible. Please update your email address with the Box Office, we will be relying on electronic mail in the future for the latest updates from our box office regarding ticket sales and other theater information.   If you do not have email, you may contact the SLT Box Office at 757-357-7338 and we will return your call as soon as possible.

Live theatre is here to entertain you, comfort you, and give you a moment to step away from the daily humdrums and problems we all face.  Whether it’s on stage, behind the scenes, or seated in the audience, with your cooperation and patience, we can all hopefully soon return to enjoying SLT.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?

Directed by:  Robert Cox
Dates:  February 11 - 28, 2021
Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:30 pm.
Rating:  PG-13
George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Written by Edward Albee
Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.

The Sound of Music

Directed by: Judy Winslow and Trey Gwaltney
Date:  April 29 - May 23, 2021
Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:30 pm.
Rating:  PG
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "My Favorite Things," "Do Re Mi," "Sixteeen Going on Seventeen" and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain Von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
The Sound of Music
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse
Presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals
