Little Theatre of Norfolk

The Little Theatre of Norfolk is the longest continually running community theatre in the nation. It began four years before the depression and has not closed its doors. During a time of World War they increased the number of productions to include special military performances so active duty men, women, their families and the community members would have a place to go and escape a time of war if just for two hours. Hours: Thursday-Saturday 8:00pm, Sunday 2:30 pm Price: $15/General Admission, $12/Senior, Students and Military, $5/Children (under 12)

      This show kept me spell-bound from the very beginning.I laughed from the moment that Libby showed up at her father's door. The acting was very realistic; I felt the emotions of Libby and Herb throughout the play. Kevin Martingayle was superb as Herb Tucker. The actress who played Libby was awesome as well. Collapse

      Wonderfully entertaining although sad. On an adorable set and in hilarious early 80's costumes, the 3 remarkable leads make it all feel so genuine as the play unfolds like actual life playing out.

      We saw this play Saturday January 8, 2010 having never seen this play or read the script before and knowing nothing about the story. Before long, we were totally engaged and engrossed in the lives of the characters. The acting drew us in to the story, and made us truly care what happened next! The fact that this play only has three characters, no special effects, and no other bells and whistles makes it all the more important that the actors are believable in making the characters sympathetic, which these actors did immediately, and held our attention throughout! This play made for a very enjoyable evening out and i recommend it! Collapse
