We invite you to join us for a casual evening of incredible entertainment featuring Ivoryton favorite, David Lutken, to launch the restoration of the Ivoryton Playhouse stage!
Tickets available by calling the box office 860.767.7318 or by purchasing on line. Tickets are $50 each that includes Concert and Hootenanny.
Cash bar will be open before and after the show.

8:30 pm: Hootenanny on the Patio - All instruments welcome! Play and sing along with the band or just sit back and enjoy! Cash bar will be open.
Let’s Restore our Historic Stage: The building that is now Ivoryton Playhouse was built in 1911 as a recreation hall for the employees of the Comstock-Cheney factory. After the Hall was purchased by Milton Stiefel Ivoryton Playhouse became the first self-supporting summer theater in the nation. Countless stars and legends have walked the boards of the Ivoryton stage, including Marlon Brando, Ethel Waters, Betty Grable, Groucho Marx, and Katherine Hepburn.
Over the course of the past 28 years, the Ivoryton Playhouse Foundation has completed many renovations on the 112-year-old building and the next critical restoration is that of our beloved stage itself. A theatre is more than just a building and a stage is more than just boards; our restoration will preserve the legacy of Ivoryton Playhouse while ensuring the ability to bring the Shoreline the highest quality in live theatre. Imagine what the next 100 years will bring!
David Lutken is a multifaceted performer, musician and storyteller extraordinaire, David Lutken has captivated audiences worldwide with his contagious passion for music and a presence that is magnetic and endearing. From his Outer Critic’s Circle Award-nominated portrayal of Woody Guthrie in “Woody Sez” to his critically acclaimed roles in Ring of Fire and The Will Rogers Follies on Broadway, he has consistently enchanted audiences with his artistry.
David has graced the boards of the Ivoryton stage many times in shows such as The Porch on Windy Hill, The Road: My Life with John Denver and just last year in Ring of Fire.
Lutken’s Seat of the Pants Band, aptly named for David’s quip that “rehearsing is cheating”, is a dynamic ensemble, performing a combination of folk, blues, country and rock. With their irresistible blend of music and storytelling, they speak straight to the heart of any music lover and invite any and all to join in the joy of music making.

    So glad that I had the opportunity to see this premier of Queens of the Golden Mask. To my ears, the bright dialog that masked a Faustian bargain was engaging and skillfully done. I thought of the many ways in which a soft drawl can cut. In this play, the cruelty below the surface is monstrous. The tidy kitchen set concentrates a world of banality and evil.

    I discovered the play and your work by fluke tonight while looking for a video of the cape Michael Travis made for Liberace that had over 600 lights in it. What I don't know or haven't heard of constantly amazes me!! I knew Liberace via one of my best friends, Ray Arnett, hist producer & director for over 30 years. Through a circuitous route that went LA -Berlin -Vancouver BC. I found out about Soderbergh's planned movie because of Tom of Finland art works he wanted to use that belonged to a friend of a friend of mine. There is no one left alive who worked on the show except one person his former dresser) I figured no one would suspect that Ray was still with us & through that incetuous pipeline, got Ray's contact details relayed to Soderbergh. Steven visited Ray in his home several times for consultation & when I spoke with Ray I could hear him beaming and speaking with a vibrancy I hadn't heard in years. Interesting how something that could have been unimaginably difficult (contacting Soderbergh) was so easy; as if meant to be. The payoff (for me) was the palpable boost it gave to my dear friend nearing the completion of his time here. Ray was not given to displaying exuberance but he couldn't downplay his giddiness; enjoying one more brief moment in the sun. Candelabra aired May 26/13 & Ray died March 12/15 age 97. I'd love to see the play, Liberace & intend to write Brent Hazelton to commend him and inquire about licensing. Keep Tinkling... Sincerely Yours, xoxo ❤️🌹🎭🎹
