Productions by Season
Below you will see lists of all the productions by SDC for many of the the years from 1920 up to the present season. There have been over 800 productions over the years and enjoyed by audiences ever since the beginning.
For the years from 2005 to 2015 there are also the programmes for every production shown, just click on the play name in those years below and it will download for you. We are adding more programmes as and when they become available to us as well as programmes from earlier dates.
The early programmes from 1940s and 1950s that are here are well worth a read, if only to see everything in pounds, shillings and pence!! All the old adverts are a treat to see too.
Not everything is available as you can see, but if you would like something specific, please contact marketing@littletheatresouthport.co.uk stating the name of the play and the year it was produced, and we will do our best to help you.
