Description

Biloxi Little Theatre is thrilled to present our fourth show of our 78th season, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION! 

The Shawshank Redemption is a stage adaptation of Stephen King's novella and the classic fils, centered on the unlikely friendship between two prisoners, Andy Dufresne and Ellis "Red" Redding, at the brutal Shawshank State Penitentiary. Wrongly convicted of his wife’s murder, Andy uses his intelligence and skills to survive harsh conditions, gain the respect of fellow inmates, and assist in the prison’s financial operations. Over the years, Red, a lifer and the narrator, forms a deep bond with Andy. The Shawshank Redemption is a story of resilience and a theatrical experience like no other.

Located in east Biloxi, the playhouse is housed in a historic building at 220 Lee Street, south of the Biloxi Kroc Center and north of the Deer Island cut. Parts of the building date to the 1890's. Amenities include handicapped parking and accessibility, dual air conditioning and heating, and lighted and patrolled parking areas.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the district, and the theatre was seriously damaged. A major renovation took place and improvements are ongoing to this day.

We work to make Biloxi Little Theatre uncommon. We produce plays that other local theatres won’t. We don’t edit our plays for content, and we offer a wide array of material. We work hard to keep our prices reasonable. We offer discounted tickets for seniors, students, and active military. We also offer season tickets at various levels, program advertising, and production sponsorship.

The arts are what make any community an interesting place to live, and Biloxi Little Theatre has been a part of the local arts scene since 1946. For over 20 years we’ve offered summer teen shows; now we’re offering programs for younger children; and we’re always ready to take a shot at something new. Come join us! Buy a ticket; encourage your friends to do the same! Work back stage, volunteer in the lobby, audition for a part! And help us spread the word about just how special theatre can be!
