On Friday evening, May 5, Bellevue Little Theatre will open the run of its 250th live theatre production, 'Girl's Week-end', a lively comedy by Iowa playwright Karen Schaeffer. This opening marks the regional debut of this fast moving farce. Patrons attending the opening night performance are invited to join the cast and staff after the performance for a party to celebrate the milestone event. Drinks and light refreshments will be served, and all are invited to attend.

The BLT has been proud to welcome patrons for the past 54 seasons at the old 'Roxy' movie theatre, 203 W Mission Ave in Olde Towne Bellevue, and plans are underway for an exciting 55th season, opening in September.

 The BLT has grown from a group of traveling actors who began performing over 50 years ago in numerous venues in the area to a vibrant fixture in Olde Towne Bellevue. The theatre itself has been remodeled over the years and has expanded its footprint to include the thriving 'Class Act Thrift Shop' next door. This 250th production of 'Girl's Week-end' will run for three week-ends, from May 5 to May 21. Karen Schaeffer, the show's author, will be present the closing week-end of her play to see her play come to life onstage.

This funny, frantic play begins as four Iowa women arrive at an isolated cabin to drink some wine, share some laughs and discuss their book club's latest offering. The book 'discussions' are soon forgotten, and the women proceed to much juicier subjects.....the men not present in favor of juicier subjects – in the women's case, the men they left behind.
