The Community Theatre League Announces 43rd Season

The Community Theatre League, located in downtown Williamsport, is proud to announce its 43rd season of entertainment! Affectionately known as "CTL," the theatre company is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization which aims to educate, enrich, and entertain audiences in the greater Williamsport region.

The 2019-20 season at CTL begins in September, and includes five productions in the Mainstage Series, five productions in the Moyer Studio Series (now in its 4th season), five productions in the Family Series, three major concerts, and additional special events. All productions are staffed by volunteers, and use casts comprised of local community members. The past season featured actors from as far as Selinsgrove, Bloomsburg, Mansfield, and Mill Hall in productions. (Information on being a part of performances can be found at ctlshows.com/auditions).

Philip J Vonada, CTL's General Manager, says that there is definitely something for everyone in this season. "We have blockbuster musicals, intense dramas, hilarious comedies, and a whole series devoted to children and children-at-heart," he says. "This season is devoted to our audiences and actors, who weighed in on the shows we are producing this year. We are thrilled to be able to keep giving back to the area through our productions. And we are always seeking new talent for our stages - last year saw nearly 50 people make their debuts at CTL!"
