2026 Season

We are pleased to announce our 2026 Season!

In 2026 we will be offering a mix of comedy, farce, drama and a musical. We know you will be delighted with our productions, which include some titles that will be familiar to many of our patrons.
 

Starting in February we will present, One Slight Hitch by comedian, Lewis Black.
This door-slamming farce with a heart. The play takes place on the day of a suburban
backyard wedding in 1981. The story centers on the highly organized and anxious
mother of the bride, Delia Coleman, and her frantic husband, Doc, who are trying to
ensure their eldest daughter, Courtney, has the perfect wedding they never had. 
 

In April we present our musical, The Bikinis – A New Musical Beach Party, by Ray
Roderick and James Hindman. It’s a family friendly, jukebox musical about four women
who reunite 20 years later to perform a concert to save their beloved Jersey Shore
mobile home park, Sandy Shores. The show features over 30 hit songs from the 1960s
and beyond as the group relives their past, navigates their current lives
 

In early May we’ll feature Aesop’s Oh so Slightly Updated Fables, by Kim Esop
Wiley. It’s a hilarious retelling of 5 familiar fables. This short play, performed for and
with kids, weaves five of Aesop's most famous fables into a show that's fun, fast-paced, and full of surprises.
 

Later in May, just in time for Mother’s day, we will present the 2026 version of Listen to
Your Mother, by Ann Imig. This production has been a yearly favorite at BLT with all
new segments, some written by our local actors. It’s a live storytelling performance
series featuring true stories about motherhood from diverse perspectives, including
humor, grief, and celebration.
 

In June we will present the thought-provoking comedy End Days by Deborah Zoe
Laufer.  Sixteen-year-old Rachel Stein is having a bad year.  Her father hasn’t changed
out of his pajamas since 9/11.   Her mother has begun a close, personal relationship
with Jesus.  Her new neighbor, a sixteen-year-old Elvis impersonator, has fallen for her
hard and befriended her parents.  And the Apocalypse is coming Wednesday.  Her only
hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all.

Our August production is the stage version of the hit film, Same Time Next Year, by
Bernard Slade. The play is about a two-person affair between a man and a woman who
meet at a California inn once a year for 25 years. They are both married to other people,
have a one-night stand in 1951 and agree to meet again annually, charting their lives,
their changing relationship, and 25 years of American social and cultural shifts over six
scenes set five years apart. 
 

In October we present another stage version of a beloved film, On Golden Pond, by
Ernest Thompson. The plot focuses on an aging couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, who spend each summer at their home on a lake called Golden Pond. During the year
the story takes place, they are visited by their daughter, her fiancé, and his son. The
play explores father and daughter’s turbulent relationship, and the difficulties faced by a
couple in the twilight years of a long marriage.
 

We end our season with perennial holiday favorite, Yes Virginia, There is a Santa
Claus, by Jamie Gorski. This radio drama is set in New York City, in 1897. Christmas is
almost here, but eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon suddenly is facing a crisis of belief: Is Santa Claus real or not? Famously, she writes a letter to a local paper to give her a
definitive answer to that most crucial of questions.

Parking is along the front and sides of the building. Please don’t block the sidewalks or entrances. A Handicapped accessible entrance is located on the west (left) side of the building, as well as handicapped parking. A ramp is available, and if you’ll let us know which night you’re coming, we’ll have someone at the side door to assist you.

Doors open generally 60 minutes before showtime, with access to seating about 30 minutes before showtime.

Tickets are sold here on our website and in person at Ricky Evans Gallery - 211 N. Howe St. in Southport, generally 4-6 weeks prior to the show. 

Concessions (coffee, tea, water, candy, chips, beer and wine) are available.  We take cash and charge cards. 

Dress code is casual, but feel free to get all sparkled and spit-shined up! It is a theatre after all. Please wear shoes…and clothes. No hats please.

We do pause for a brief Intermission generally halfway through the show to allow both you and the actors to stretch your legs and enjoy a bio break.

All of our seating is open, first-come, first-choice of seats! We are truly a ‘little’ theatre, so if you find the rare empty seat around you, please ‘scootch’ in to make room for others. Alert our ushers to any open seats around you as we get close to curtain time so that we can seat everyone as quickly as possible.

Show time is usually 7:30 (check your ticket for the actual show time). Please be prompt and in your seats no later than 7:25 p.m. Anyone arriving after the show starts will be ushered in and seated in whatever remaining seats are available. There may be a short delay in seating until an appropriate time in order to keep the disruption to the other guests and the actors to a minimum.

It’s difficult to regulate the theatre temperature with all you ‘hotties’ in the room and it can be a little chilly when we first open the doors, so please consider bringing a light sweater or wrap with you.

Please note that all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. If you find that you are unable to use your tickets for the night intended, contact us and we will make every effort to assist you in changing to another night for the same show if there are seats available.
