Fun for the whole family. Sing the old songs! Cheer the hero! Boo the villain! Presented yearly since 1936, Gold in the Hills features a relentless hero, a winsome heroine, a ruthless villain, beautiful can-can dancers, and the wilder side of city life in the infamous New York Bowery.

Our 74th season has started. Gold in the Hills, the Guinness Book of World Records' longest continuously-running melodrama, is having another exciting season in July 2009, with performances Friday and Saturday nights starting at 7:30 pm.

Regional Theatre Activities

Congratulations to the Starkville Community Theatre for their performance of Catfish Moon at the AACTFest competition in Tacoma, Washington. SCT gained the following national recognition: Best Ensemble, Best Supporting Actress (Krista Vowell), Backstage Achievement, Nomination for Best Actor (Paul Ruff), Nomination for Best Supporting Actor (Marcus Vowell), and Nomination for Set Design.

This Property is NOT Condemned! The Bay St. Louis Little Theatre has taken the first step on its path to a new permanent home after being totally destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The New John F. Holmes Theatre will be in a building known locally as the “This Property is Condemned” building, a building that was featured prominently in the 1966 film of the same name. Based (loosely) on a Tennessee Williams one-act play, the movie starred Natalie Wood and the devilish Robert Redford, and is believed to be the only movie filmed in Bay St. Louis.
