Ivoryton Playhouse is Back!
June 14, 2021 - September 5, 2021
What are the sounds of summer to you? For some, it is the sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore or the birds calling to each other in the trees but for me it is the sweet melody of the circular saw, cutting out flats and the hammer pounding the pieces together. Those sounds are even more precious this year as the Ivoryton Playhouse has been soundless for so long.
This summer, to make up for a year of silence, our plan is to fill the theatre with music and laughter; with rounds applause and soft “ahhs” of appreciation; with nonsensical, madcap farce and moments of pure joy.
In short, the Ivoryton Playhouse is back! And we are ready to share our home with you once more so that we can experience together the whole gamut of human emotions and leave, content in the knowledge that we are not alone.
Can’t wait to see you at the Playhouse!
Single tickets go on sale Monday, June 14th, 2021.
Murder for Two

Thursday, July 8 – Sunday, August 1st
Everyone is a suspect in MURDER FOR TWO – one actor is the detective, the other plays all 13 suspects and they both play the piano! A zany blend of classic musical comedy and madcap mystery, this 90-minute whodunit is a highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs.
