Make time for these
Little Traverse Civic Theatre was organized in 1945 as the Petoskey Little Theatre, and its first play, You Can't Take It With You, went up in January 1946. After a reorganization in 1960-62 it took its current name. Its first full-scale musical, Guys and Dolls, came in 1967, and a popular Fiddler on the Roof in 1973 helped it grow further. It's still run by volunteers as the community theater of Petoskey and the Little Traverse Bay area. Besides its season, it puts on an annual Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast at local cinemas and venues, with actors performing live in front of the screen.
