2024-2025 Theatre Performances
Little Women Broadway Musical
September 20-October 6, 2024
Book by Allan Knee, Music by Jason Howland, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
In a world where women are expected to act a certain way and only allowed to do certain things, one young woman dares to dream beyond those expectations. Set in Civil War America, Jo March creates fantastical stories of heroics and romance. With her sisters, Meg, Beth and Amy, and her best friend Laurie, Jo writes and performs her imaginative stories with the hopes of one day selling them and becoming a world famous writer. But growing up in a society that has expectations isn’t easy. The March sisters must lean on each other to become who they are meant to be while also finding their own place both separately and in their family structure. Based on Louisa May Alcott's book, Little Women is a story of four girls who are fighting to become women in their own way and in their own time. Familial bonds, love, loss, heartbreak and courage will help them along the way.
100-year play reading: Seven Keys to Bald Pate Inn
November 2, 2024
This year will be our fifth presentation of a relic from Carroll’s theatre past. This 100-year reading will honor the Carroll Theatre tradition by reading a play that was performed here 100 years ago. November 1913 is the first record of a play performed by the Dramatic Club under the direction of Reverend Turnbull. This is staged with minimal rehearsal and stage elements, radio style.
We have planned this year's play, Seven Keys to Bald Pate Inn, for the evening of Nov 2nd at 7:30 p.m. Seven Keys was performed at Carroll in May of 1925.
The event is free and coincides with Founder's Day.

April 4-13, 2025
Written by Finnegan Kruckemeyer
In a small seaside village where men build boats and women do not, young Suzette knows she is different – she longs for the sea and believes she is meant for something greater than a life on land. So when a mysterious event occurs, Suzette is forced to do that most difficult thing – prove herself worthy of her destiny.
