Happy 2021 from Slidell Little Theatre!


 And good riddance to 2020! It was a very tough year for all of us, including SLT, but we're hopeful that between our safety protocols and the advent of the vaccines, we can all be together soon.


We tested our wings with a very successful, limited run of a Christmas fundraising show, A Twisted Christmas Carol. Our socially-distanced, masked audiences loved it...and we loved doing it! Thanks to director Kaula Johnson and her very talented cast which included: Marlana Barousse, Bill Saussaye, Matthew Price, Lillian Pfeifer, and Casey Jones!


Speaking of a New Year...have you seen the January 2021 edition of Slidell Magazine?
Well, hurry and get you one! There's a fabulous history of SLT written by Ted Lewis with photos by SLT's own, Paul Wood; it's filled with pictures and reminiscences of many of SLT's most notable members. A big Thank You to Slidell Magazine editor, Kendra Maness for the walk down memory lane.

Curtain Up!
Get ready for the return to the mainstage! Little Shop of Horrors opens on February 26th. Originally slated as the last show of the 2019-2020 season, rehearsals for Little Shop were closed down due to COVID-19 restrictions. Now, director Larry Johnson has been able to reassemble many of the original actors and is currently in rehearsal. Stay tuned for more details!


Keeping SLT Safe
The Board of Directors is committed to making the safety of members and audiences at SLT job ONE! They have consulted with Hytrophy/ Disaster Hawk, a nationally-recognized disaster planning and mitigation service, and have earned their Gold Plan Certification for disaster planning. SLT adheres to all state and local COVID recommendations and has enhanced cleaning protocols. Temperature checks, masks, and socially-distanced seating are required at all performances.
