Our History

About the Carlisle Theatre

Located in the heart of Carlisle, the historic Carlisle Theatre has been referred to as “the gem of downtown”.

The Carlisle Theatre is one of the principal forces behind the revitalization of downtown Carlisle. Established in 1939, renovated in 1993, we remain Carlisle’s downtown source for entertainment. The Carlisle Regional Performing Arts Center presents musical concerts, performances, films, live theatrical productions, and programming for children and families.

The Theatre is also available for corporate events and meetings, community events, weddings, and much, much more!

AUDTION REMINDER: TONIGHT @ 5:30PM. WALK INS WELCOME!

ASSASSINS
Book by John Weidman
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Auditions: February 15, 5:30-8:30pm
Location: Carlisle Theatre Mainstage

Director: Jeremy Tuttle
Music Director: Lindy Mack
Stage Manager/Company Manager: Lauren Gopi
Artistic Director: Ashley Shade Byerts

Virtual Audition Form: forms.gle/yidDDEMWZtvACcDy8

Character Breakdown: drive.google.com/file/d/1JtjYPAvU2q6BKy2BS4aBAIic79lgQddW/view?usp=drivesdk

“A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.”

[Assassins is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).]

Great show, Catie MO and troupe. So good to laugh so much!

❤️ Join us on Friday, February 20 at 7:30 PM for Couples Therapy: The Theatrical Show! ❤️

Tickets are available now at: carlisletheatre.showare.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=129

Witness the hilarity and mischief that unfolds when Couples dive into Therapy. This unforgettable evening of laughter and entertainment is a unique and clever combination of theatre, stand-up comedy, and improv that is as funny as it is insightful. Audiences go on a hilarious and interactive ride as a pair of married relationship experts attempt to help couples with their relationships but as the show wears on, we see that they have more problems than their patients!

And fear not guys, this is not one of those beat down sessions on men. Instead, we equally explore, appreciate, and laugh at the differences between men and women. The show offers endless humor packed with practical relationship advice rooted in science and psychology (we really did our homework!) So strap in, as we don't just break the fourth wall, we smash right through it!

In short, this show will either strengthen or completely destroy your relationship. Either way, you're welcome!"

We have to give a shoutout to Chet & Terry at Opal Salon. At last week’s touring tribute show, the artist’s tour bus got stuck on Pomfret on some frozen ice and snow. They saved the day with hot water and buckets to get the tour bus safely to the theatre for load in!

Our staff refers to them as our in-house hair geniuses, and we will always and forever be their clients. Next time you buy a ticket to a show, park in the Pomfret Lot and schedule a haircut with our favorite guys before curtain. ✂️🧊

👏🏼 way to go guys

Way to go, Chet and Terry! I was very impressed that the tour bus got back there in an already-tight parking area made worse by the snow and ice. Bravo to the driver!

I ❤️ Opal Salo!
