Northumberland Players Present: “Looped”
November 14–30 | Firehall Theatre
Step into Hollywood’s golden age with this sharp-witted play about Tallulah Bankhead — a must-see for theatre lovers! Looped is based on an actual 1965 recording session in which an intoxicated Tallulah Bankhead required eight hours to dub (or “loop”) a single line from her final movie, Die! Die! My Darling! The play shows Tallulah antagonizing the film editor assigned to the job, but also provides a raw, funny, and fascinating look into the scandalous life of an eccentric and legendary actress who once said, “If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes. Only sooner.”
The Giving Tree

🗓️ November 14–23 | Concert Hall at Victoria Hall

A classic whodunit brought to life by VOS Theatre. Expect intrigue, elegance, and plenty of suspense.
