True on many accounts, I was a shy girl just out of college but NLT gave me a passion, a confidence, and so many friends I never would have otherwise. The lessons learned inside the theatre cannot be found other places. We need more young people to join theater groups and find their voice and inner light in this dark world. The support of our audiences keeps community theatre going and we appreciate all of you. -Meta Toole (NLT Board President)

We are looking for 4 women and 2 men for a very funny farce. Bernard is an American architect living in Paris, who sees himself as quite the ladies' man. He has 3 fiancés, an American, an Italian, and a German... all stewardesses on different airlines. He has all their visits planned to the minute, but his long-lost friend from the States drops in unexpectedly, a major weather event, and the new faster Boeing jet may just derail the best laid plans. With 7 doors and 1960s fashion, it is going to be a fun show to be involved with.

Come listen to our conversation with DH Johnson as we talk about what’s in store next season at Benson Little Theatre. Then we talk about older movies based on plays with a brief foray into a discussion of the pros and cons of method acting.
Thank you to everyone who auditioned for our season opener, A Murder Is Announced. We had about 40 people audition for 12 roles. The director had a hard decision, but we are able to announce the cast list. For those cast, you will have the first meeting and read thru on Saturday, August 6 at 2pm at the Hut.
Mark your calendars for our next auditions: Boeing Boeing (a farce set in the 1960s Paris). Some really good comedic roles and high energy antics. September 19 & 20 at 7pm.

THANK YOU to everyone that came out for auditions for our season opener... A Murder Is Announced. The director was overwhelmed at the amount of talent he gets to choose from. Now the hard part begins, so please be patient. We will announce the cast list as soon as he is able to make his very difficult decision.
Mark your calendars for the show, and our next auditions (Boeing, Boeing). We hope you come out for the next one. We like when the directors leave auditions with too many choices. :)

We lost 3 members of NLT this last season: Jean Marlow (1946-2021) Yates Dobson (1930-2022) Rhonda Smith (1952-2022) We did not have any photos or video of the Honorable Yates Dobson but he was in Inherit the Wind (1976) and South Pacific (1986). We wanted to honor all their memories and recognize them for their contributions to NLT at the 2022 Cannon Awards.
With a final goodbye, we finish up #TheTripToBountifulNLT 🚌 and our 47th Season. We are so proud to have gotten back to performing again and we hope everyone enjoyed the season.

After years of traveling from pillar to post in search of a home, the Neuse Little Theatre found a place to call its own. “The Hut”, as it is affectionately known, is NLT’s home. Originally the American Legion Log Cabin, Neuse Little Theatre has worked hard at upkeep of the building while making it work as a live performance space. With only 100 seats, the Hut provides ample seating while maintaining the intimate theatrical experience that our audiences enjoy.
Come see a show and see what NLT can do! See you at the theater!
