1938-2008
OUR 70TH SEASON
The
Colonial Little Theatre was founded in 1938 when a small group of
theater
lovers met and decided to form an amateur stage group. Since then,
the
CLT has grown to become one of the oldest community theatres
in
the state of New York.
The
history of the Colonial Little Theatre began with its founder, Walter Short.
A
teacher at Knox Junior High School, Short was the first president of the
organization.
He also directed, staged and performed in numerous productions
over
the years. Since the group did not acquire a building until the early 1960's,
the
earliest
productions were produced on the stage at Knox Junior High School.
Over
the past 65 years, over one thousand performers have graced the stage
at
the CLT, and many of them have gone on to pursue successful professional
careers
in the performing arts. What began as a small amateur community theatre
group
has evolved into a staple of the community as a forum for some of the
best
theatre in the area.

links below represent a complete history of every show performed
at
the Colonial Little Theatre since its inception in 1938.
