Baytown Little Theater

The Baytown Little Theater is proud to present two performances of our award-winning entry in the American Association of Community Theatre’s Festival of Plays. Baytown supporters can see this play presented Thursday, March 7, and Friday, March 8, at 8:00 PM, before it travels to Lewisville, Texas, for the Texas Nonprofit Theatres’ biennial state competition, where it will be performed Friday, March 15, at 7:30 PM in the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theatre. See the post below for more information on this exciting event. But come out Thursday or Friday and enjoy our fabulously talented cast as they present one of the most acclaimed comedies of the past ten years.

This production is not a part of our regular season. Tickets are not available in advance, but can be purchased at the door for $10, with cash, check, or credit card. Seating will be general admission.

Please note: this show is recommended for mature audiences due to language and subject matter.

Baytown Little Theater’s production of God of Carnage, by Yazmina Reza, will perform at the statefestival, sponsored by Texas Nonprofit Theatres, for the right to advance in the national AACTFest community theatre competition. The festival will feature performances by ten theatres from across Texas, with plays ranging from The Diaries of Adam and Eve, by Port Arthur’s Act One, Scene One Theatre Company, to Denton Community Theatre’s production of Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill.. The conference and festival runs Thursday-Saturday, March 14 through 16, with the highlight being keynote speaker Del Shores, actor and playwright best known for his plays Daddy’s Dying, Who’s Got the Will and Sordid Lives.

The BLT has once again demonstrated the level of talent that graces its stage. Director Sam Estrada leads his cast in a hilarious comedy that takes advantage of the character-creating gifts of all of the actors who have brought this modern American theatre classic to life to welcome in the new season. Larry Shue’s The Foreigner will continue for two weekends, with performances February 22, 23, 24, March 1, 2, and 3. It promised to be a popular ticket, so make sure you do not miss this latest offering of our area’s leading producer of live theater.

Auditions for the next play, the second in the 2013 Baytown Little Theater season, Beth Henley’s dark family comedy The Wake of Jamey Foster, will take place Sunday, February 17, and Monday, February 18, at  7:00 PM, at the theater’s location, 4328 Hugh Echols Blvd. Director Fred White will be looking for a cast of 3 males and 4 females to bring Henley’s “Southern sense of the grotesque and absurd as experienced in daily existence” to life.

Henley was recently represented on the BLT stage with a second production of her play Crimes of the Heart, in the 2010 season,  first produced at BLT in 1996. For more details about the upcoming production, see information at this link.
