What it says it does

Little Theatre Off Broadway strives to give artists a place for artistic and technical expression through theatre performance and to provide the community with opportunities to experience the performing arts. LTOB is committed to producing quality shows that provide our audiences with outstanding programing and is focused on growing our attendance by providing reasonably priced and easily accessible programing to our loyal audiences. We are in the process of selecting the dramas, comedies, and musicals for the 2023-2024 season from a pool of proposed shows, which includes On Golden Pond, RENT, Baskerville, Much Ado About Nothing, The Psychic, Big Fish, and Something Rotten. We will focus on audience favorites, with at least two family-friendly shows, ensuring strong attendance and supporting our ongoing goal of fiscal responsibility. We also endeavor to include at least one lesser-known play each season, supporting LTOB's goal of bringing new programing to our audiences.
