*ABOUT LTA
The Little Theatre of Alexandria (LTA) was established in 1934 as a small
play-reading group in Old Town Alexandria under the Presidency of Miss Mary
Lindsey. Full productions ensued, and in 1939 the group bought a rickety former
blacksmith’s shop located in Ramsey Alley, between Lee and Fairfax streets, for
rehearsal space and construction of sets and costumes. LTA moved into its
current 600 Wolfe Street location in the heart of Old Town in 1961.
LTA’s Mission is to enrich the cultural life of Alexandria, Virginia, by
providing diverse, professional-quality theatre at affordable prices;
opportunities to work in live theatre to anyone desiring to do so; arts-related
education for all ages; and a social center for people who love any and all
aspects of theatre. In striving to meet its goals, LTA will maintain the highest
standard of play and musical selections, sound financial management, and
outreach to the surrounding community.
The theatre produces eight shows per year, which includes A Christmas Carol
during the holiday season, two musicals and five plays. Our theatre has over 300
dedicated and talented volunteers. Since 1934, the theatre has mounted over 300
productions. Proud of our rich heritage, LTA is excited about its future! We may
be a little theater, but our expectations are gigantic!
