Get ready to enter the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss as Greenwood Little Theatre prepares to bring his beloved characters to life in their upcoming production of "Seussical, Jr." The dedicated crew, led by set designer Dezarae Leto and costume designer Jeanne Gewalt, have been working tirelessly since mid-December to create an enchanting and safe stage for the show's young performers.

The Greenwood Little Theatre is excited to announce that we are making plans for upgrades to our beloved Davis Auditorium. Our goal is to enhance the theatre-going experience for our valued audience members.

Auditions for the Greenwood Little Theater production of Seussical JR. are set for Tuesday, January 31st, from 5 pm to 7 pm, Friday, February 3rd, from 4 pm to 6 pm, and Saturday, February 4th, from 10 am to 12 pm. The auditions are open to children of all ages and will be held in the Davis Auditorium, 400 Cotton Street in Greenwood.

“The show meets people’s expectations,” Leto said. “It’s familiar, homey, heartwarming and nostalgic. It makes them come back to what matters and makes you reflect on life and how you matter in other people’s lives.”

Belva Johnston Pleasants, 93, of Minter City passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter on Nov. 29, 2022. She served as president of Greenwood Little Theatre.

The newest addition to the Greenwood Leflore Hospital surgical team — and its first female general surgeon — said she feels this is where she belongs.

“I feel incredibly lucky,” she said. “Everyone who knows I came here was like, ‘Why would you want to go there?’ And I said, ‘Because here is exactly where I need to be.’”

Auditions for Greenwood Little Theater production of It’s a Wonderful Life – The Radio Play are set for Wednesday and Thursday, November 9 and 10 at 6 pm. The auditions will be held in the Davis Auditorium, 400 Cotton Street in Greenwood.

Davis Elementary School is in line to receive a variety of improvements pending the Greenwood Leflore Consolidated District School Board attorney’s approval of a $5,000 grant.

GLT Board member Jon Peede talks about his reasons for moving to Greenwood, his experience in promoting the arts in Mississippi, and his advice on how to garner more support for the arts in Greenwood.

“The show could be best described as a comedic farce,” Powers said — but that comedy overlays themes of marriage, grief and loss throughout the play.

The GLCSD board gave approval for the theater to install a professional lighting system — to be provided by the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale — and four sections of aisle seating for people who use wheelchairs.
