T-minus 4 days until Auditions: Falsettos at SLOC Musical Theater and today we are meeting Trina & Mendel.

Trina is ex-wife to Marvin, wife to Mendel, and mother to Jason (son of Marvin). She is charmingly neurotic in her effort to understand the conflicting feelings she has in the aftermath of her divorce. She is very devoted to her son and his well-being.

Mendel is Marvin’s psychiatrist (ex-husband to Trina) who eventually marries Trina and enters into the tumultuous world of her life with her son, her ex and her ex’s lover while struggling with his own feelings.

We hope to see you next week! Visit our event page or sloctheater.org for more details!

Auditions: Falsettos at SLOC Musical Theater are less than a week away! We will take some time this week to meet the characters and hope that you'll consider coming out next Monday and Wednesday!

Dr. Charlotte & Cordelia are the "le****ns from next door". Charlotte is a dedicated doctor alarmed by the mysterious illness that is killing her gay male patients. She is tough, but extremely nurturing and very much in love with her partner, Cordelia. Cordelia runs her own kosher catering business, is very keen on making a nice home, but also wants to be useful and valued for her contribution to the world.

Visit our event page or sloctheater.org for more details on auditions 10/7 & 10/9.

Last call for season subscriptions and flex passes!!! You have until this Thursday, September 12th to purchase online or call 518.730.7370! We hope you’ll consider joining us for another fantastic season. 🎸💅🏻⚾️🌟👑

🎭The time has come for renewing your Season Subscription or purchasing your Flex Pass for Season 98! Our website lists the many benefits of both the full season subscription as well as the flex passes- not just the $$ savings. Visit https://sloctheater.ludus.com/passes.php for more info! 🥳

Even more exciting news...we're switching ticketing platforms! For all performances after June 1 (this includes season subscription purchases and flex passes), we will be migrating to Ludus. You'll no longer be required to remember a username and a password, instead your ticket orders will all be linked by just your email address and easily accessed with a Multi-Factor Authentication email. If you see emails from [email protected], [email protected] or with [LUDUS] referenced in the subject, that's our (new) ticketing platform!

We hope that you'll consider joining us for another great season celebrating the talent and creativity of our community members!
