Talk about literature coming to life! Gabby suspects something is going on in the library at night, so she enlists the help of her best friend, Paige, to do some sleuthing. Together they hide in the library after it closes and discover that it’s haunted by a silent ghost who leads them to a book containing a cryptic poem. As Paige and Gabby decipher the poem, they find clues that enable them to bring fictional characters to life, starting with Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island. Jim helps them summon even more characters from other books and soon, the library is overrun with the denizens of literature — Humpty Dumpty, the Mad Hatter, Alice in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables, Romeo, and others. Things are definitely out of hand, but they take a turn for the worse when — shiver me timbers! — Long John Silver is inadvertently brought to life. The pirate sets out on a thieving spree, and he’s not afraid to use his cutlass to get what he wants! It’s up to Paige, Gabby and Jim to defeat the pirate and return the characters to their stories before the library reopens. All that’s necessary for a happy ending is courage, ingenuity… and one more character brought to life.

April 2024 Newsletter – A Message From Our President

It’s been a while since we’ve had a newsletter go out and with an influx of new board members and new creativity flowing, they are back, but as a quarterly newsletter for now.

We have a new president, and she has a message for everyone out there supporting us!

“First, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for being a supporter of Orrville Community Theater. 

We are so excited for the season we have planned.  The board is working tirelessly to bring quality performances for the community to enjoy. We have five productions in the works that we know will delight audiences and have many opportunities for people to get involved onstage and offstage.   We hope that this season will draw individuals of all ages to participate and develop a love for theatre.  

We have many goals for this season including:

  • Raising funds to eventually return to having a permanent theatre location.
  • Developing classes and workshops of various interests and abilities for all to enjoy.
  • To heighten our community involvement through various activities.

Please consider getting involved directly or becoming a patron or sponsor of our programs.  

Orrville Community Theater is truly a place “Where Everyone Is Center Stage.

Sincerely, 
Tracy
