The box office is now open for The Little Theatre's next production, The Rink. Call the box office at 330.343.4012 to reserve your tickets for this wonderful show!
The Rink focuses on Anna, the owner of a dilapidated roller skating rink on the boardwalk of a decaying seaside resort, who has decided to sell the skating rink to developers. Complicating her plans is her prodigal daughter Angel, who returns to town seeking to reconnect with the people and places she left behind long ago. Through a series of flashbacks, revelations, and minimal forward-moving plot development, the two deal with their pasts in their attempt to reconcile and move on with their lives.

The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County will be holding auditions for their summer musical, Urinetown, on Sunday, April 28 and Monday, April 29. Registration will begin at 6:30pm with auditions beginning at 7:00pm.
A three-time Tony award winning production, Urinetown is a hilarious musical which pokes fun at the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and municipal politics. The show also parodies musicals such as The Cradle Will Rock and Les Misérables, and the Broadway musical itself as a form.
The story begins in a grim Gotham-like city of the future, where a 20-year drought has occurred. As a result, the government has banned private toilets and the citizens must use pay-to-pee toilets regulated by a monopolistic company, the Urine Good Company, which charges exorbitant prices. Bobby Strong, the assistant custodian at the poorest urinal in town, decides enough is enough. With the help of the daughter of the CEO of the Urine Good Company, Hope Cladwell, Bobby ends up leading a rebellion which frees the citizens.
Roles are available for over 20 men and women ranging in age from high school students through older adults. There are no children in this show.
All who are auditioning should be prepared to sing 16-24 bars of a song in the style of the show. Please bring your own sheet music or vocal track. An accompanist will be provided. All who audition will also be asked to read from the script and do a brief movement audition. Please wear comfortable clothing and footware.
Call backs, if needed, will be held on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00pm.
Urinetown will be performed June 28, 29, 30, July 5, 6, 7, 12, & 13.
If you have further questions about auditions, please contact the director, Chad Roberts, at 330.243.6467.

However, shortly after the rink is sold and scheduled to be torn down, Angel returns to town wanting to return to the people and places she grew up with, specifically the rink.

The Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County will be holding auditions for their next musical, The Drowsy Chaperone, on Sunday and Monday, November 18 & 19. This show, directed by Rich Jagunic, is a spoof of the American musical comedy of the 1920's. The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favorite musical--the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone-- the show comes to life in his living room as he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors.
Auditions for The Drowsy Chaperone will begin at 8:00 pm Sunday and Monday, November 18 & 19 in The Little Theatre building. Registration will begin at 7:30 pm. All who audition should provide their own sheet music or vocal track. Please NO a capella auditions. An accompanist will be provided. Songs should be 24-32 bars in length, and preferably not from the show.
There will be a movement audition as well, so comfortable clothing should be worn. Shoes cannot be sandals, heels, slippers, or clogs.
Readings from the script will only follow the music auditions.
The Drowsy Chaperone requires a cast of 20-24. Adults and teens are welcome to audition for the show.

The box office will open Friday, September 28 for our next production, You Can't Take it With You.
This hilarious comedy, directed by Pat Potter, tells the story of the Sycamore family: an interesting family made up of delightfully different personalities who get along well but are viewed by others as being a bit mad. When daughter Alice brings home, Tony Kirby, her boyfriend, and his parents for dinner, the evening goes wrong and his parents refuse to agree with the proposed marriage. Strange things happen in the Sycamore household from the manufacture of fireworks, to the printing press in the parlor, odd characters who visit and stay for years, to Grandpa’s interview with the tax collector when he tells him that he doesn’t believe in income tax. The Kirbys learn that people shouldn’t be judged because they are different. This show is a statement on not taking life too seriously but enjoying every minute.
The show opens on Friday, October 5, and continues their run on October 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, & 20. All tickets are $10.
Call The Little Theatre Box Office to reserve your tickets at 330.343.4012. Go to our CALENDAR page for a complete list of box office hours.
