18.01.2022 Happy 40th Anniversary Spectrum Theatre Alison (original member) told the story of how it all began over a cup of coffee and how they ended up in the Old Post Office. Special day for Karen Freeman who was awarded Life Membership for all her archival of the history of Spectrum Theatre. Karen is also a Life Member at ALOTCo for the very same reason. To our cousin thespians across the tracks, cheers, may you have another 40 years of entertaining Albany.... PS starting up over a cup of coffee is a little different than Light Opera which started up over betting a beer.

17.01.2022 Thankyou especially to Urinetown cast and crew who came to help with the 'bump out' of Urinetown and 'setting up' for 'Shine from the Shadows'.

13.01.2022 Found in a box donated to Albany Light Opera Co. I think there may be an Irish connection as there is still a Lafayette Photographic Studio in Dublin. Anyone recognise these lovely people?

11.01.2022 AGT2020 - ALOTCo's Got Talent Thats a wrap! Thankyou to all performers, production crew and audience who made this such a special show. Until next the next show........ Some pics from the 'After Party', yummy pizza, where the kids take over the stage and we play re-runs of the AGT's recorded music. Oh, Janet heard there was a T-shirt being made up saying, "Is that what you're wearing?' (private joke, Todd?) 'From now on' the last act, the cast were initially a little unmotivated, so Janet threaten to get up on the stage and shame them with her enthusiasm!
