The 2022 season brings a return of the pure pleasure of theatre. As we emerge from an incredibly difficult time, we are excited to present a line-up of shows that balances classic and contemporary, celebrates hope and happiness, gives us a thrill, and inspires us to change the world around us. This season allows us to take stories, both new and familiar, and present them in ways that reflect the people of our community. Auntie Mame says, “Life is a banquet,” and we invite you to bring your unique self to the table.

QUILTAs
January 15, 2022
The QUILTA Ceremonies (the abbreviation originally stood for Quincy Little Theatre Awards) have been a tradition at QCT since 1970. QUILTAs recognizes the volunteers involved throughout the previous season, whose unique selves make the theatre the wonderful place that it is. Without volunteers, who bring their skills and talents to the table, this theatre would not exist.
Dress is formal, and reservations are required. Tickets are available at the QCT Box Office beginning December 6.
RSVP deadline is January 5.

DISCOVERY NIGHT
TALK BACK“How’d they do that? Why’d they do that? What did that mean?” If you have left the theatre with questions or an eagerness to talk about what you just saw, you will love our post-show discussions. Stick around after the show for a conversation with the cast and creative team to hear their perspective on the show…. and to share yours!
Get an inside look into the making of a production before you see it onstage. Discovery Night is a free event that includes a conversation with the creative team on the themes of the show and even a sneak peek performance!

AuditionsLegally Blonde
by Stephen Gregg
One night in suburban California, every person in the audience of a community theatre play fell unconscious—except one. A group of actors recreate interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders, and investigators in an attempt to unravel the truth of the incident. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that the phenomenon may be more dangerous—and widespread— than anyone imagined. Unnerving, exhilarating, and wildly inventive, Trap is unlike anything you’ve seen on stage.
