Love Letters by A.R. Gurney is an
unique and imaginative theatre piece comprised of letters exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grow up together, go their separate ways -- but continue to share confidences.
This evocative, funny and touching production stars Jay Cook, seen recently on our Mainstage as Peter in Zoo Story, and Donna Steele, actor, director and Artistic Director of Steel Beam Theatre.


Young aspiring actors, ages 6-14,
can fine tune their acting and communication skills at our Winter 2012 Acting Workshops.
New this session is Script to Stage, an interdisciplinary workshop for middle school students focussed on core aspects of performing essential to an actor’s development.
Other classes are Fairy Tale Theatre: Rapunzel, Audition, and Improvisation. All classes build skills essential to effective interpersonal communication, and many workshop actors audition for and perform in SBT Children’s Theatre productions.  MORE
 
Opening with one of the most shocking scenes in theater, Murderer is a dark comedic thriller sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Written by Anthony Schaffer, the author of Sleuth, Murderer tells the story of eccentric painter Norman Bartholomew, a failed artist so obsessed with famous murders he recreates them as a game. Or is it?
Our cast includes Thomas Reed (right) as the painter Norman Bartholomew; Sherry Winchester Schultz as Elizabeth Bartholomew; Kathryn Meiners as Millie Sykes, and Thom Thomas as Sgt. Stenning. Jack Schultz directs.
Murderer runs Friday, Jan. 13 through Sunday, Feb. 5. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8.00pm and Sundays at 3.00pm.

In a far away land, a Queen faces a perplexing mystery. Every night her twelve beautiful princesses are tucked safely in their beds with the door to their suite securely bolted shut. Yet each morning the girls are exhausted, as if they hadn’t slept, and their shoes are worn through, even though every day they get a new pair.
It's a puzzle -- or worse, a sinister plot! -- in this delightful adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Twelve Dancing Princesses.
Performances are Saturdays at 10.30am and 1.00pm and Sundays at 1.00pm, from Jan. 14 through Feb, 5.
The cast includes Michael Garcia, Jill Jackson, Riley Kafka, Lilly Nowak, Mikayla Rawls, Adelaide Ralston and Carly Rasmussen, all of Geneva; Anastasia Smith-Becker, Allison Cole, Aaron Delaney, Mackenzie O’Keefe, Rachel Ponte and Julia Zima, all of St. Charles; Aidan Walker and Isabel Walker, Batavia; Chloe Besser, Elburn; Fiona Dendler, South Elgin; Isabelle Heuser, Wayne; and Ashley Peters and Lindsay Peters, West Chicago. Daina Giesler directs.
