Brunswick Little Theatre 2025 Season

The Kids Left. The Dog died. Now What? by Carole Caplan Lonner - Directed by Debbie Skillman

This entertaining musical about those facing a host of midlife crises takes a humorous and heartfelt look at the day-to-day concerns of the over-fifty “empty-nester” crowd.  A salute to those valiantly struggling with divorce on their hands, gravity on their bodies, grandchildren on their self-images and the dating scene on their egos.

And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie - Directed by Pam McClure

And Then There Were None is a mystery thriller that set the bar for the “whodunnit” genre.  A group of ten people gather at the mansion on Soldier Island, just off the coast of Devon. They are invited under a variety of pretenses: for employment, for a detective case, or just for a good time. Before the party truly gets under way, a recording plays that accuses each guest of murder. Baffled, these strangers realize that they have no idea who their host is, and when the first guest is murdered, they understand that they have been brought to the island by a maniac who intends to dispense his own perverted form of justice.  Who is the killer? As time goes by, and characters fall away, it is clear that the survivors can trust no one.

More Fun Than Bowling, by Stephen Dietz - Directed by Rosina Whitfield

Jake owns a bowling alley in a small Midwestern town. He is sitting on a hilltop where two of his three wives are buried. Lois was zapped by lightning while carrying a bowling trophy in a thunderstorm and Loretta was killed by a ball return machine where he comes to ruminate. In his younger days he was a promising concert musician, but a foul tip baseball broke his fingers which subsequently healed into a perfect bowler's grip. Jake replays the key frames of his life and, from time to time, is visited by his daughter Molly who has become adept at talking women into marrying her father for love and free lane time. But who is that nattily dressed man with dark glasses and a revolver lurking nearby? 

“Within its thin overlay of absurdum, More Fun than Bowling is a zany romantic comedy that audiences will be glad has come their way.” - Talkin’ Broadway

Hallelujah Girls, by Jones/Hope/Wooten - Directed by Dan Barth

Following the death of a friend, blond bombshell of a certain age Sugar Lee is inspired to follow her dreams and so she buys an old church and opens Spa-Dee-Dah day spa. Her friends all lend a hand. But trouble finds the happy crew when Sugar Lee’s high school sweetheart  returns as a handyman, and then life-long enemy Bunny tries to ruin Sugar Lee’s business so that Bunny can buy the church and open a museum.  Anyone who’s seen any of the Jones/Hope/Wooten canon know what to expect: Quirky Southern characters, over-the-top antics, marital spats, big drama, bigger hair and happy endings. 

Red Velvet, by Lolita Chakrabarti - Directed by Ken Greenman

London, 1833. A Black man has never starred on a major London stage—not even as Othello—until tonight.

Based on true events, RED VELVET transports audiences to the turbulent backstage world of London’s Theatre Royal in Covent Garden to tell the little-known story of Ira Aldridge, an African-American stage actor.  As the  British Parliament debates the abolition of slavery, Aldridge prepares to make his entrance as Othello.  His groundbreaking performance upends centuries of British stage tradition and changes the lives of everyone involved.

The audience is enamored but the critics are not amused and the Theatre Royal is temporarily shut down. Despite this, Aldridge went on to build a stellar career with an impeccable reputation throughout Europe, but he never returned to a London stage again.

Greetings, by Tom Dudzick

Andy has a sweet Catholic mother, a sour Catholic father and an intellectually disabled younger brother named Mickey. When he brings his Jewish atheist fiancé to meet the folks on Christmas Eve, his worst fears about family blow-ups are realized. But when Mickey, whose entire vocabulary has been limited to "oh boy" and "wow," suddenly spouts the word "Greetings!" the entire family's belief system is turned upside down. For it seems an ancient, wise and witty spirit who is set upon healing the family's wounds has borrowed Mickey's body!

"Exhilarating, profound: what ineffective little adjectives to describe Greetings!” - Albany Times-Union

"A comic jewel...Stunning and touching...A joyful holiday lift." - The New York Newsday

"A loving holiday wonder...Deserves a shelf life long after Christmas." - The New York Post

"Glows with...warmhearted emotion." - The Associated Press

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.
