Got To Love Mother Nature

Hello everyone!!! Can you believe that June is almost over?! That means that Steel Magnolias is wrapping up and Oklahoma is right around the corner.

Thanks to everyone for coming out for Steel Magnolias and for sticking with us through all the crazy weather we have been having. We even had to cancel last Friday night's performance because the power was out! However, we thank you for being patient with both us and mother nature and for continuing to support the theater. We appreciate it!

Oklahoma tickets are selling fast so hopefully you have all been calling us to book your seats. It's going to be a great show and it starts July 1st and runs through July 11th.

We are also pleased to announce that we will be having a performance on July 4th in the afternoon at 2pm. What better way to celebrate the holiday than to spend the afternoon at TLP? And of course after the show you can always head on down to Mt. Carroll and enjoy the parade as well as the amazing fireworks put on by the Mt. Carroll Fire Department. The fireworks are FREE.....and I'll be there!!!!

It'll "Steel" You Away!

What do a hairless dog, red velvet armadillo cake, and non-stop gunfire have in common?
Truvy's!
Last night "Steel Magnolias" opened at TLP and the audience was treated to a refreshing and candid tale of the highs and lows of those who regularly gather at their neighborhood salon. These 1980's women reflect an eclectic blend of traditional and modern attitudes towards love, marriage, and family. The men in their lives, though always off stage, add surprising levity with their wild antics.
Together these six southern women find strength and hope in each others' genuine concern, which is sometimes accessorized with scathing insults. This is the essence of real life. This is the essence of great theater.

A Note from the Box Office Manager

The last performance of Chicago went off without a hitch and we are now gearing up for our next show, Steel Magnolias, which opens this Thursday, June 17th. We urge all who are interested in attending Steel Magnolias, as well as any of the other shows this season, to call the Box Office for reservations because seats are selling fast. We hope to hear from you!

An Ode to TLP

Hear the phones ringing. They're ringing inside my head.
If the phones ever stop ringing, they'll be singing TLP is dead.
We're glad to answer phones 'cause it means we're not alone
The theater is ALIVE and WELL because the phones keep ringing without end.

From 11:00am to 7:00 each day we hear all our wonderful patrons say,
"Are there still good seats left for the show?"
We're happy to say "YES" there are seats yet to go.
The last show is Sunday at 2:00 for Chicago so DO NOT DELAY
Or you' hear us say, "Folding chairs only are left for this day"

So, give us a call when the box office is open
And we'll gladly fulfill your desires, best we can.
Thanks for your patience and loyalty, too.
For without you, our patrons, we'd have nothing to do.

Chicago, it ROCKS from the floor to the ceiling
Roxie, Velma, Billy, and the gang,
All raise the roof, and the bar, of the Playhouse each night, and
It's hard to imagine how the season can get better...
But it will!!
