Ivoryton Playhouse Announces its Centennial Season

In June, 2011, The Ivoryton Playhouse reaches its 100th birthday. 100 years of hosting dances and town meetings, producing great theatre, discovering movie stars and great directors and perhaps even the stars of tomorrow.

The 2011 season - the Centennial Celebration - will build on this success and provide audiences with musicals and plays that reflect the unique history. Visit in 2011 to enjoy the history, music and blarney of Ireland; the English wit of Alan Ayckbourn's How the Other Half Loves (featuring your favorite resident Brits Jacqui Hubbard and Beverley Galpin); a Neil Simon comedy, a Broadway extravaganza, as well as a country music icon, pop hits of the 50's and 60's and, to cap it all off, a spine chilling classic from London's West End!
