Little Theatre Off Broadway (LTOB)

What Little Theatre Off Broadway (LTOB) does

Little Theatre Off Broadway (LTOB) is a nonprofit community theatre organization located at 3981 Broadway in downtown Grove City, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. The organization is in its 66th season (2026-2027) and produces a mix of mainstage musicals and plays alongside a youth theatre program serving grades 2-12. It operates as a member-run nonprofit governed by a six-member Board of Trustees, with active memberships in the Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA) and the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT).

LTOB's core products are live theatrical performances at its Grove City venue and LTOB Youth Theatre classes and performances on Saturdays. The 2026-2027 season includes The Wedding Singer, A Murder is Announced, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Winter Wonderettes, and Comedy of Tenors. The technology stack is minimal and consumer-facing: a WordPress-hosted website at ltob.org, Cur8.com for online ticketing, and Square.site for donation processing. Distribution occurs through a direct on-site box office, online ticketing, and email/newsletter communications, with audience development supported by Facebook and Instagram.

LTOB's business model combines four revenue streams: individual ticket sales ($20 adult / $15 senior, student, or Thrifty Thursday), season subscriptions priced from $78-$108 plus sponsorship tiers ($130-$260), youth theatre tickets ($10 adult / $5 senior and student), and tax-deductible donations/sponsorships. Institutional support is provided by the Ohio Arts Council, Greater Columbus Arts Council, The Columbus Foundation, the City of Grove City, and the Grove City Rotary Club. Two primary customer segments are served: the local community audience in the Grove City/Columbus metro and youth participants in grades 2-12.
