Reno Little Theater is temporarily closed, but we’re working hard to be ready to re-open with our productions, classes, and events as soon as it is safe to do so. If you’re trying to contact us about ticket exchanges or refunds, please email BoxOffice@renolittletheater.org. For general inquiries, please email info@renolittletheater.org.

If you have the means to do so, please consider making a donation to RLT (HERE). Arts organizations are being severely hit right now as we depend on audiences to survive, but your generosity will help us make sure that your favorite little theater is around for another 85 years.

Finally, if you haven’t already done so please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates and lots of fun content including interactive challenges, play readings, artist development activities, and more. We might not be able to be with each other in person, but there’s no reason we can’t get through this TOGETHER!

Porridgegate!

A hilarious send-up of not one, but two fairy tales by Charles Lovett. Ursula Bear buys her porridge by the 50-pound precooked bag. But her husband Builda and her son Teddy think the porridge smells like swamp mud and tastes like secondhand fish eyes! So only Ursula is upset when a bowl of porridge goes missing and scandal breaks out in the forest. Goldie Locks has been arrested, but is she guilty… or was she […]

Broadway Take Me Away – A Musical Playlist About Far Off Places

I love to travel! Vacation planning is one of my favorite pastimes. Many of us have had to cancel vacations due to the COVID-19 crisis. I was supposed to take a few trips… one to Las Vegas, another to Anaheim, CA, and a family reunion that was supposed to take place in Grass Valley, CA. This hasn’t stopped me from daydreaming, though. Have you been daydreaming of traveling too? I’ve put together a playlist of […]

Stage Management Interview – Schyler Delano

This is a photograph of how we would have interviewed Schyler, if we weren’t social distancing and Victoria was athletic… Tiff loves to go kayaking, canoe believe it? This week we decided it would be fun to check in with a stage manager from RLT’s recent past. We tried to do a seance to talk to the very first RLT stage manager but it didn’t work and Victoria is now haunted. After that whole ordeal, […]

Update from the RLT Education Team 05/27/2020

Hi Parents! Summer is almost here and school is almost over! If your kids are anything like mine, they are jumping for joy. You too might be breathing a bit easier. Homeschooling is hard work! I have soooo much more respect for our teachers now! It takes a truly gifted and remarkable person to be a teacher. “Here’s to you, Teachers! Cheers!” In these still uncertain times, normal summer activities might look a little different […]

Update From Our Executive Director 5/26/2020

Last week, I wrote to let you know that we were devastated to announce that the remainder of our mainstage season could not go on as planned. Today, I’m writing to THANK YOU! Many of you have generously donated the tickets back to the theater in support of our operations and so that we can continue to readjust and plan for the future. We are so very grateful to those of you who were […]

A Musical Memorial Day

In celebration of Memorial Day coming up on Monday, I thought it would be fun to celebrate our troops by visiting musicals that feature characters that are soldiers in the military. These are just a few of my favorites. To all of the guys and gals out there who have fought or are fighting for the good ol’ USA, this one’s for you! 1.) Hamilton – Hamilton is the story of Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant […]

Update from the RLT Education Team 05/20/2020

Hi Parents! Porridgegate! Porridgegate! Porridgegate! The first-ever Broadway Our Way virtual Play will air on Friday, June 5th at 7pm. Tickets go on sale Monday, May 25th. These kids have worked hard in this brand new medium and I am so proud of them! It can certainly be trying at times to rehearse theater with challenges like unstable internet, internets crashing and mics not working. Not to mention pets, siblings, and parents wandering through your […]

Where Are The Tinkerers?

You may have already answered this in your head – “They are stuck at home. Like you, doofus.” And I would answer back yes, but… I didn’t see them before the mess we’re in right now either. I consider myself a tinkerer. I sort of always have been but when I started my career in theatre it became clear that my tendencies towards futzing with things or building things from nothing, would be valuable and […]
