Welcome to
ALTON LITTLE THEATER
“When the House Lights dim and the darkness is pierced by even a single spotlight, the magic of the world will appear on stage – for Theatre is the reflection of Everything that we as mere mortals do experience. Live Theater is always changing- for it is our history, our yearnings, our glorious love set to longing and music that heals our hearts. Let the lights shine every night in some “Little” theater, somewhere in the world!”
Alton Little Theater joins theaters around the country in celebrating the 150th anniversary of Community Theater. Even as our new nation was expanding, visionaries believed that new settlements needed services, protections, and venues for artistic expression. Early visionaries in Wisconsin and Illinois planned for small theaters to be supported by community pledges. While those early sites may be gone, the American Association of Community Theaters celebrates the 100+ groups still thriving and now marking their 100th anniversary. ALT is catching up, launching its 91st season at the Dorothy Colonius Showplace.
ALT attracts visitors from across the Riverbend region and produces live theatrical productions every month. The 91st season includes five mainstage plays and musicals, five extra entertainment events for new works and popular shows for different age groups, and two big concert events. Season tickets are on sale now through August 31st.
Everyone is invited to experience the traditions of live theater. Join the generations who have kept the fun and heart of theater alive. Call 618-462-3205 for information and check out all the features on our website!
