Summer Drama Camp

After working hard for two weeks learning theatre skills and rehearsing their own productions, the 2024 class of Junior and Senior Campers are excited to show us what they've learned by performing their plays!

Senior Campers (grades 8-12) Play #1: BAD Auditions by BAD Actors
A casting director has one day to find the leads for a community theater production, but what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don't know what to do with their hands, and one particular woman who may or may not think she's a cat. This hilarious comedy will bring you to the last place you'd ever want to be...behind the doors of a casting session!


Senior Campers (grades 8-12) Play #2: The One-Act Play Disaster
Pulling off a heist is pretty tough, but that's nothing compared to pulling off an unauthorized adaptation of a popular heist movie onstage! Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong when you've got a light board operator out for revenge, a dollar-store set, and a cast that's a total mess! The smooth-talking con man has crippling stage fright, the acrobat is completely uncoordinated, and the understudy keeps reading all the stage directions out loud. Can the group survive a run-through? It might be a total disaster, but it will definitely be hilarious.


Junior Campers (grades 3-7): The Mysterious Case of the Missing Ring
The royal ring is missing, and the queen won’t sleep until the royal detectives (all 13 of them!) find it. You’ve never met a more eclectic and eccentric group all in one play! As they scour the Queendom in search of the royal ring, the chatty maids follow the harried queen around while the devious butler spouts suspiciously evil laughs every time a clue goes awry. This delightful, fast-paced, madcap mystery is full of comedy for all ages and a surprise ending that rings true!

Performances are June 14, 15, & 16. Tickets are only $7.

A Christmas Carol 2024

Experience the redemption story of Ebenezer Scrooge unfold before your eyes as Scrooge is taught what truly matters by three most unlikely guests. When children ask their Mother for a Christmas bedtime story with ghosts, she tells them the ghostly tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's redemption. The story plays out around them as they experience the dramatic visits of the ghosts of Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and the mysterious Christmas Yet To Come. Scrooge goes forth with each spirit in their time and relives his past, the present, and his future. By the end of the last spirit's visit, Scrooge wakes up a changed man with a new love for Christmas and humanity.

This new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic work brings the timeless story to life on our stage December 6, 7, 8 & 13, 14, 15. Based on Dickens’ original text and faithfully adapted to the stage by Jason LeBlanc, this version blends Dickens’ iconic prose with the theatrical humor and music of Stan Coe to create an entertaining and touching performance.

Directed by Stan Coe with Ricky LeBlanc as director's assistant, Kaitlyn Coddington as stage manager, and Rose Weser as costume designer. Starring Evan Dixon as Ebenezer Scrooge, Angie Bailey as The Ghost of Christmas Past, Cayce Buttrey as The Ghost of Christmas Present, Lindsey Pruitt as The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, along with Jason LeBlanc as Bob Cratchit and Griffin White as Tiny Tim!

ENTERTAINING AUDIENCES FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS!

For over four decades, the Washington Little Theater has been entertaining audiences with quality dramatic, musical and operatic performances for people of all ages, making it one of the longest running community theaters in the state of Georgia.

In addition to a full schedule of traditional live theater productions, the Washington Little Theater also offers an annual Summer Drama Camp for children ages 8-18 in June, as well as a children's theater production geared towards local school children every September.

The theater also works closely with the Washington-Wilkes Arts Foundation and the Washington-Wilkes Historical Foundation to bring a variety of traveling shows, lectures, workshops and musical performances to the community throughout the year.

A HISTORIC THEATER IN A HISTORIC SETTING 

Vistors often refer to our small historic Southern town as something out of an old movie or a retro television show. References to the rural town of Andy Griffith's Mayberry, the dramatic landscapes of Gone With the Wind or the idyllic charm of Bedford Falls in It's a Wonderful Life, the City of Washington is a charming postcard town full of gorgeous old houses, tree lined streets and a quaint downtown square. 

Likewise, the Bolton Lunceford Playhouse sits proudly among the historic North Alexander School complex, which dates back to the 1890's. Originally, the Playhouse was the school gymnasium.  While public and private efforts are currently underway to rennovate the school buildings, the Bolton Lunceford Playhouse and the members of the Washington Little Theater Company continue to act as beacons for this educational complex.  

The Playhouse is located within a five block walk from Washington's downtown square. Unique shopping and dining experiences on the square, combined with a live theater production, make for a fun evening out! Occasionally the theater will team up with area businesses to offer special promotions and discounts. Be sure to check out the season calendar for a complete list of theater events.
