Tickets: carlisletheatre.showare.com/TimeofYourLife
“In the time of our life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it' The Time of Your Life, a rich tapestry of human life, peopled by a profusion of wistful dreamers, pining lonely hearts, and beer-hall-philosophers, is a twentieth century American masterpiece. This production is set in the 1930's but resonates with our current world so strongly. Winner of the 1940 Pulitzer Prize for Drama & Drama Critics' Circle Award Tribune.”

Join us tomorrow evening at 7:30 for a night of comedy with Couples Therapy - The Theatrical Show, tickets are available now at the link below! You won't want to miss this show!
🎟️: carlisletheatre.showare.com/CouplesTherapy
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! ... See MoreSee Less

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).] ... See MoreSee Less
