Shawnee Little Theatre will continue its ongoing capital improvements drive by joining with Oklahoma Baptist University to present the Stephen Sondheim musical “Into the Woods” Feb. 9-20.
Proceeds from this season extra production will help fund lighting and sound improvements to the SLT facility, 1829 Airport Road. A fund drive last summer raised over $65,000 to expand rest rooms and remodel the lobby area. Ongoing technical upgrades estimated at $25,000 to aging lighting and sound equipment, will further the local community theatre’s emphasis on quality of production.
“Into the Woods” is the ninth time SLT and OBU have combined talents to produce a town and gown production.
University students will receive college credit in musical theatre production for their participation onstage and behind the scenes.
Directed by Gregory Hopkins with musical direction by Mark McQuade and Jennifer McQuade, the show will perform Feb. 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 14.
SLT Season/Patron ticket holders will receive first choice at reservations with a “priority day” Monday, Feb. 8, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Box office hours beginning Tuesday, Feb. 9, are 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily Monday through Saturday.
