Kings Mountain Little Theatre Presents: 1776
Get ready to step back into the sweltering summer of 1776 in Philadelphia, where bold ideas, fiery debates, and larger-than-life personalities came together to birth a nation. KMLT is proud to bring the Tony Award-winning musical 1776 to the stage this season — a witty, inspiring, and thoroughly entertaining look at the men who dared to declare independence.

Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland
Directed by Bridget Allen
Next, it’s a trip down the rabbit hole with Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland. Join Alice, who is feeling bored and constrained with grown up ways, while sitting by a riverbank with her sister and daydreams about her surroundings before spotting a scurrying and flustered White Rabbit. Curious, Alice pursues the Rabbit and finds herself tumbling down a deep rabbit hole into a whimsical new world where she talks with animals and meets peculiar inhabitants. Is Alice's nonsensical adventures real or a dream?
Alice in Wonderland
Murder on the Orient Express
AGATHA CHRISTIE’S MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, adapted for stage by KEN LUDWIG, directed by Wendy Walega.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
