The Savannah Sipping Society

29 April - 15 May 2021

by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten

Directed by Chris Austin-Greenhill
Assistant Director Robyn Flashman

In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years.

Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment—and most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends. So raise your glass to these strong Southern women and their fierce embrace of life and say “Cheers!” to this joyful and surprisingly touching comedy!
Ladies Day

Ladies Day

23 September - 9 October 2021

by Amanda Whittington

Directors: Jane Sheppard and Di Johnston

Work, love and life are just one long, hard slog for factory workers Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at racing’s day of the year.

Out go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the four ditch work, do themselves up to the nines and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter. If their luck holds, they could hit the jackpot – and more besides.

Factory hairnets make way for fascinators in this warm-hearted and poignant comedy about a day of fun, untold secrets, optimism and the precious joy of friendship.

Rated M: Adult themes and some mild coarse language.
The 39 Steps (A Comedy)

The 39 Steps (A Comedy)

18 November - 4 December 2021

Adapted by Patrick Barlow from the novel by John Buchan, from the movie by Alfred Hitchcock

Directed by Shane Mallory
Assistant Director Jo Robbins

A hilarious whodunit based on Alfred Hitchcock’s classic original film. A beautiful woman. An unsuspecting victim. A whole lot of fun! One part epic spy-tale, one part madcap comedy extravaganza. The 39 Steps follows innocent bystander Richard Hannay as he races cross-country from London to Edinburgh and back to solve a mysterious crime: before it's blamed on him! Nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular version of Britain’s most spell-binding thriller – legendary scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Fourth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium!

With four actors playing a minimum of one hundred and thirty-nine roles, ILT has decided to finish 2021 with a bang and stage this production a decade on from the original theatrical tour de force from 2011.

Rated PG: Adult Themes
