The KLT strives to provide entertainment for the community by offering a series
of well-staged performances of live theatre and for all, within the Triad
community, an avenue for development in all aspects of theatrical arts.
Our first show of each season, in
September, is in historic Korner's Folly. Through our productions, we have
introduced hundreds of people to this unique, historic mansion, and raised tens
of thousands of dollars toward its restoration.
Each year we produce a Christmas show
with a large cast in a local church, normally A Christmas Carol.
In February/March we produce a
non-musical. We've done comedies, drams and mysteries in our local school
auditorium.
A major musical is produced in June, in
the school, such as: Annie Get Your Gun, Big River, Sound of Music and South
Pacific.
Even though we've produced plays since
1976, we are still one of the youngest community theaters in the Piedmont Triad.
We don't have permanent facility, so we produce our shows in various locations
in the Kernersville area. We are very excited that the town is discussing
building a theatre! 336-993-6556 (Office hours 10a - 2p
