The American Revolution Musical


Casting Call for the American Revolution Puppet Musical!
Join us next Thursday, December 11th, at 7pm, for a casting intro to this fun production. We are seeking children ages 6 and up for the children’s roles and ensemble, as well as youth and adults for puppeteers. No experience is necessary! Simply show up if you’re interested.

For more information, reach out to Jason LeBlanc, Ginny King, or Tara Townsend.

“Betsy Ross – a bit prone to exaggeration – tells her grandkids how the colonies became a nation. It's a difficult time: taxes are high, Sam Adams hates tea, and Paul Revere keeps forgetting his horse! The colonies don't even like each other that much and John Hancock is spending way too much time practicing his signature. But it's a glorious story nevertheless, and will help enliven an exciting part of our history!”

This is a FREE event for all ages! Seats are first come, first serve. Free tickets are encouraged but not required.

Come From Away

Come from Away is a deeply moving and unexpectedly uplifting musical that tells the remarkable true story of kindness in the face of crisis. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland—instantly doubling its population. What unfolds is a powerful portrait of humanity at its best. Strangers from around the world, stranded and uncertain, are welcomed with open arms by the residents of Gander. As cultural differences and initial anxieties give way to laughter, music, and lasting friendships, the lines between “come from aways” and locals begin to blur. Told through a dynamic ensemble cast, catchy folk-inspired music, and rapid-fire storytelling, Come From Away captures moments of humor, heartbreak, and hope with equal grace. It’s a celebration of compassion, resilience, and the simple, profound idea that even in the darkest times, people can choose to take care of one another.

Directed by Jason LeBlanc, with Bonny Dixon as assistant director, and musical direction by Bill & Carolee Hobbins.

Performances begin on September 11th - the 25th Anniversary of 9/11.

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.
