Update from our President

June 27, 2020
We are longing for the doors to open and the seats to be filled and the stage to be active with our talented performers… 

However, due to the uncertainty of Covid-19 and the executive orders by our governor, we are forced to make changes at SLT.  As we navigate through the requirements and recommendations, please know we miss you, value your loyalty, and are longing for the day to have our theater back to normal!

Unfortunately, for the ’20-’21 season, we will be unable to offer our 3-show season ticket package. We will only be selling tickets individually on a show-by-show basis. You may still purchase group tickets or tickets to more than one performance.  

Our fall show, Clue-On Stage, will not be presented during our normal fall time period.  We plan to present it in December; however, this will depend on our governor’s orders and CDC recommendations at that time.  

If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at: tickets@smithfieldlittletheater.org or 757-357-7338.  

We have all had a stressful year, and we want to help you put that behind and get back to normal.  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.
Bob Neel
President, SLT Board of Directors.

Clue On Stage

Directed by: James Eanes
Date:  December 3 - December 20, 2020
Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:30 pm.
Rating:  PG
Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery.  The tale begins at the remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu.  When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.  Led by Wadsworth, the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up.  Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

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
