Picture
The Little Theatre will hold auditions Sunday, February 2 at 6:30 p.m. and Monday, February 3 at 7 p.m. for the comedy Jeeves at Sea.

The performance dates for Jeeves at Sea will be: April 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26

***Also feel free to join us if you are interested in working behind the scenes in such capacities as Stage Hand, Prop Master, Lights & Sound, Costuming, etc.***

Four adult males and two adult females are needed for the following roles:
  • Bertram Wilberforce Wooster: A happy bachelor who shouldn't have a care in the world. Wealthy and tenderly cared for by his peerless valet, but has a remarkable talent for landing squarely in the soup.
  • Jeeves: Bertie's valet. Polished and never at a loss. Competent in every respect.
  • Sir Percival Everard Crumpworth "Crumpet": Bertie's pal, a lovestruck and poverty-sticken peer, two conditions that do not mix well. (Doubles as Alfred Crumpet)
  • Lady Stella Vanderley: A mischievous heiress who delights in stirring up trouble. She adores toying with her many lovelorn suitors.
  • Miss Minerva Pilbeam: Stella's companion, entrusted by Stella's strict father with the daunting task of looking out for his high-spirited daughter. Morally upright but with a romantic soul.
  • Alfred Crumpworth "Alfred of Africa": Crumpet's long-lost twin brother. He is everything Crumpet wishes he could be: debonair, dashing, and devilishly attractive to women.
  • Count Otto Von Dietrichstein: Equerry to his Serene Highness the Prince of Saxburg-Liegnitz. He and Minerva had a long-ago flirtation in Vienna.

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" is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 21 at 6:30 pm.  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.
