2026-27 Lamp-Lite Season

The annual Lamp-Lite Gala, the official launch for the 2026-27 Lamp-Lite Theatre Season, will be held on Saturday, September 12, at 6:00pm. 

Admission is FREE, and we will have live entertainment. The event will be catered, so there is no need to bring any outside food as we have often done in the past.

Lamp-Lite Players volunteers with laptops will be available at the Gala to assist our patrons with purchasing their season tickets online.

The Gala will also serve as our Annual Membership Meeting, during which we will hold officer elections for the coming theatre season.

Opening night for the 2026-27 Season will be Friday, October 23, 2026.

The Odd Couple by Neil Simon is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.  It will be directed by Julie Gebhardt-Kilcullen.

Auditions will be held on September 5 & 6, 2026 at 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.  It will be directed by Cristóban Morones.

The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. 

The story follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace Bradley is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter, Beth, and husband, Bob, are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas.

Auditions will be held on September 19 & 20, 2026 at 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
