About Us:

Kernersville Little Theatre (KLT) was established in 1976 with a grant from the Urban Arts Council of Winston-Salem. The driving force behind the organization of the group was a team of three dedicated women: Lucy Lewis, Becky Mohler and Joan Hope. The first production of the fledgling organization was the comedy "You Can't Take It With You" by Moss Hart and George Kaufman, produced in July of 1977. Since then, KLT has mounted over 100 productions. Currently, we present four different shows in each September-June season.

KLT is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. These Board members generally serve three-year terms, with no term limits, and many have served on an ongoing basis. Because there is no paid executive director or artistic staff - only a part-time office staffer - with the officers of the Board overseeing both artistic and business management of the organization, the ability to serve multiple terms enhances continuity.

KLT has no "home," and performs in available spaces throughout Kernersville. We take grateful advantage of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System's community schools program, whereby organizations within the community can rent certain facilities. As a result, you will often find us in the Kernersville Elementary School auditorium and occasionally on the other side of town at Glenn High School.

Once a year we perform in historic Korner's Folly, where the 1896 top-floor theatre, Cupid's Park, is one of the first private little theatres in America.

At Christmas time you will find KLT in church sanctuaries with a special holiday production which often features our youngest performers as they join the KLT family. The holiday show is a great introduction to KLT for both volunteers and audience members, and a portion of ticket income from this show is donated to the Kernersville Christmas Stocking Fund.

KLT dreams of the day that Kernersville has a permanent performance space to offer as a home base for our organization and others in the community. Until then, look for us throughout Kernersville, and Come Play With Us!
