DEDICATE A CHAIR IN THE HONOR OR MEMORY OF SOMEONE SPECIAL!
Show your love for someone who is special in your life by dedicating a chair through St. Marys Little Theatre. We have our new chairs in place at Theatre by the Trax (thanks to Kings Bay Chapel), and will be posting brass-style plaques on the back of each chair bearing the name of someone who is to be honored. This would make a great gift for parents, husband, wife, children, sweethearts—or a special friend. It would also be a nice gesture to commemorate someone who has gone before you who you’d like to honor and whose memory you would like to keep alive. Chair sponsorships are $100 each. All you need to do is make check payable to St. Marys Little Theatre and mail to St. Marys Little Theatre Board Member Joyce Bason at 128 Chelsea Place, St. Marys, GA 31558, and include the desired inscription.
Suggested wording:
In Honor Of (or) In Memory Of
(their name)
By (your name)
Be sure and give us your email address and phone number so we can let you know when your plaque has been installed. You may email Joyce at sism@tds.net or call her at 912-882-2156 if you have questions. Thank you so much for considering this warm tribute for someone special and at the same time supporting cultural arts in our community.

Man of La Mancha
St. Marys Little Theatre’s premiere production, Man of La Mancha, has come and gone, but not without touching hearts and leaving an indelible mark on our community.
For four nights and one matinee performance, 140 people from all walks of life and all ages shared this memorable experience.
They gasped as the chained staircase was lowered from above and fog shrouded a formidable inquisition captain. They chuckled as the dancing horses tapped their way across the stage, pulling Don Quixote and Sancho into their quest. Couples sought each other’s hands as Don Quixote declared his love for the ethereal Dulcinea and sighed when the Padre sang “To Each his Dulcinea.” When the fight scene broke out, they cheered the underdogs and applauded loudly upon their victory. And together they struggled to hold back tears (few succeeded) as Don Quixote and Sancho climbed the dungeon staircase while the entire cast bid them goodby with a rousing tribute of “Impossible Dream.”
Every performance was rewarded with a standing ovation—much deserved by a cast who put their whole hearts into months of preparation.
As producer and director, I would like to thank the entire community for the amazing support given to St. Marys Little Theatre. Volunteers worked hundreds of hours to ready the Theatre by the Trax. Residents came forth at every turn to contribute their talent, time, or sometimes money, to bring a little piece of Broadway to St. Marys.
For those who were not able to get a ticket, I’m so very sorry. Not just because you missed a fabulous performance, but because you missed the opportunity to see how thrilling it can be to see a community come together for a good cause. My love affair with St. Marys has deepened even more because of my experience with Man of La Mancha. And it will be my ongoing quest to bring many more inspiring performances to the wonderful people who call St. Marys home. Thank you.
