Due to the icy road conditions, we have decided to cancel tonight’s performance of “Suspicious Minds.” We take the safety of our patrons, actors, and volunteers very seriously, so we felt that this difficult decision was the best one. Thank you for your understanding. If you have already purchased your ticket for tonight and have not already heard from the Box Office, you can call 423-343-1766 to either reschedule your ticket or to receive a full refund. God Bless you all and stay safe and warm out there!

Due to the temperature and icy conditions, we have decided to postpone the Easter audition one more time. It will now be held on Monday, January 22nd from 6pm - 9pm. We also wanted to note that because this show will run for an extended period, do not let that discourage you from auditioning. There are options available to double cast. We will use all people in some way.
We are not only looking for actors, but tech workers and front house volunteers during the run of the production. We hope to see you at auditions on Monday!! Stay safe and warm!

We are cohosting a spaghetti fundraiser dinner with LampLight Theatre to help our dear friend, Kelli Hutson. Kelli has been diagnosed with cancer and her medical and household bills are piling up.

Looking for something to do for Labor Day? Because we are postponing the opening of “In the Valley” production until September 8th, we want to offer a Movie Special at LampLight Theatre on Saturday, September 2nd. Come and enjoy two movie classics on one of Kingsport’s largest movie screens. A matinee of the classic cartoon, “Gulliver’s Travels”, will be showing at 2:00 PM. It is a “must see” for all ages. The evening showing of the vintage film, “Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of Baskervilles” starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee will start at 7:00 PM. Admission is FREE, but donations will be received to help our fellow actress, Kelli Hutson, who is battling cancer. Concessions will be available. Great entertainment for the whole family.
