THE MISSION…
The Shreveport Little Theatre is committed to produce a broad variety of quality, live theatre with predominantly volunteer participation from the community, with the guidance of trained artistic and managerial leadership, for the entertainment, enlightenment, and growth of the audience and the volunteer participants, and to increase community awareness of and pride in The Shreveport Little Theatre.

THE HISTORY…
The Shreveport Little Theatre celebrates its 88th consecutive season in 2009-2010, a longevity unprecedented in contemporary community theatre.

From the first performance in the City Hall Auditorium in 1922, The Shreveport Little Theatre staged productions in the Jewish Synagogue, the Grand Opera House, the Auditorium of the Woman's Department Club until we built our own home and opened on March 14, 1927 at 812 Margaret Place. We were again traveling after a fire in the 1986 and performed at Theatre On Line, LSU-S and Performing Arts Center. A group of SLT patrons, and members of the community, rallied around the idea that it was time to return to our original home on Margaret Place and set out to raise the necessary funds to rebuild a portion of the theatre.

While thousands of persons have contributed to the national recognition of The Shreveport Little Theatre, John Wray and Margaret Mary Young must be given the bulk of the credit, serving the theatre as managing and technical directors from 1936 until their retirement in 1973. Since then, we have had a wonderful and diverse group of managing and technical directors and this year, we will continue the proud tradition.

THE COMMUNITY…
Audiences for our ten annual productions come not only from the Shreveport-Bossier City areas, but also form East Texas, Southern Arkansas and smaller communities throughout Northwest Louisiana.
