Just since July of 2021, we’ve completed some improvements to our facility, and begun work on other improvements. We’ve continued our full array of programming, from intimate evenings with Sixpence in Sally’s Encore through major Celebrity Series events. Our partners are all back, including Warren Players, Molly Dies, Yankee Bush, and the Friends of the Library Theatre.
Facilities Improvements: We have added a long-needed wheelchair accessible restroom on the first floor and begun a full renovation of what will become the Sisson Family Rehearsal Hall on the 4th floor. Theatre historian Ellen Paquette helped us match the palette for the restoration to original colors used in its previous life as a Masons Hall. A generous gift from the Haverlack family made the Rehearsal Hall renovations possible.
Performances galore:. Our own full array of programming (masks required) returned, with Cadillac Three, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Gin Blossoms, and a Cirque Christmas Special. We continued to make every film showing an event, with Karaoke or guest singers in Sally’s Encore preceding the show, and active audience engagement. Our Comedy Nights and musical programming returned to Sally’s Encore Theatre Bar. Sponsors for SLT programming include Northwest Bank, United Refining, Superior Tire, the Sokolski Family Foundation, the Community Foundation of Warren County, the De Frees Family Memorial Fund and many others.
Allegheny Regional Theatre Experience Our Summer Theatre Camp for youth developed a script that grew into the Allegheny Regional Theatre Christmas show, exposing area youth from 3rd through 12th grade to every aspect of theater production..Support from the Kay Hardesty Logan Foundation supported youth programming at the Theatre.
Our partners are back: We partnered with the Warren Players to host their wildly successful production of Mamma Mia, as they returned to the stage after a long COVID pause. Molly Dies dancers helped us with a donor event in the summer then brought their beloved Christmas Spectacular to the Theatre in November. Tribute acts presented by Yankee Bush Productions were back as well. As always, the Friends of the Library Theater helped with everything from concessions to ushering and with film selection and projection.
