NEWS & NOTICES FROM THE ILION LITTLE THEATRE
AUDITION NOTICE
Journey with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when families would gather round the radio, and listen to a show together. Comedy, Drama, Horror, it was all available right there in the glowing box.
The Ilion Little Theatre would like to recreate those days today. These strange times have made it impossible to do live shows so we would like to try the next best thing, which doesn’t mean doing them dead, but rather doing them virtually. This will be a 2 week commitment, from May 16 through 29. The first week getting organized, and the second rehearsing and taping the show. Lines will not need to be memorized as in radio they read the scripts. The shows we are hoping to do are:
Final decisions will be made depending on availability and the needs of the show. Some people may be cast in more than one role, also a radio way of doing things. Anyone interested in taking part in this adventure, please contact Rick Riggle at pastorfpcilion@gmail.com. EXTENSION OF MEMBERSHIPS DUE TO COVID-19
It has been a long year with many challenges, sacrifices and sorrow, but the light at the end of the tunnel (and hopefully our stage) is emerging. We miss all of you and are greatly looking forward to resuming activities in the near future.
It is important that you be aware of the following action that the board took: Amendment to Articles III, VII and IX of The Little Theater Club of Ilion Constitution Due to the extraordinary circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on usual practices and theatre participation, those members (active and honorary) in good standing for the 2019-2020 Season will be granted extended good standing membership status for the 2020-2021 Season. Those members (active and honorary) who paid dues for the 2020-2021 Season shall have those dues credited to the 2021-2022 Season. Please contact us if you are not sure of your membership status or have any questions. |
DINNER MEETINGS
A tradition still upheld many decades later is the social aspect of the Ilion Little Theatre. While the organization continues to produce shows for the general public throughout the year, the organization's members meet once a month to socialize at a pot luck dinner at the theatre.
Each dinner meeting is held the third Thursday of the month (unless pre-empted by a scheduled performance), every month, from September through May. General organization business is conducted during these meetings, but both current members and those interested in joining are invited to attend. The next monthly dinner meeting of the "Ilion Little Theatre" will be held Thursday, May 20th at 6:30 p.m. **To keep each other safe and healthy during this time, please be sure to practice social distancing and wear a mask where distancing is not possible. Dinner meetings are normally held at the theatre (also referred to as "The Stables"), located at 13 Remington Ave, behind Remington Arms. A social period (BYOB) will be held from 6:30 to 7:00 pm followed by dinner and those attending are asked to please bring a dish to share. The date is subject to change. ANNUAL ELECTIONS OF BOARD MEMBERS

If you are interested in volunteering for the committee, please contact us by March 22nd. This is not a difficult or time-consuming activity. Please consider assisting. The following positions are open for election:
