I realize I did not deliver on my proposed post (I feel sure I did not PROMISE anything) about my upcoming theatrical endeavor. I shall now correct the omission by telling you a little about An Evening of Timeless Comedy to be presented September 15 through 17 and 22 through 24.
An Evening of Timeless Comedy is a series of one act plays pulled from the earliest days of the theater’s 100 year history. Each play is an important part of the Ilion Little Theatre’s History. The Mayor and the Manicure by George Ade is the first play presented by ILT Club. At the time, the group met and performed in Lucille Worden’s attic. The Man in the Bowler Hat by A.A. Milne is the last play performed in Lucille Worden’s attic, in 1927. So’s Your Old Antique by Clare Beecher Kummer was the first play performed at The Stables, ILT’s current home, in 1930.
Dedicated actors!
We had a read-through of all three plays recently. I asked if anybody minded if I took pictures for my blog post. After a few jokes about the possibility of blackmail (who, us? Do anything to be blackmailed about? Say it ain’t so!), permission was graciously granted.
Another view of the excellent casts.
I am Mary in The Man in the Bowler Hat. I will have a lot more to say about that later (preview of coming attractions).
Our delightful directors.
I will naturally be sharing more as we go along. In the ,eantime, if you want more information, you can visit Ilion Little Theatre’s Facebook page or ilionlittletheatre.org.
