The Loblolly Theatre Company is an independent theater company founded in 1999 by Yolanda Reed, Hunt Scarritt and Pat Simmons. It is named for the Loblolly Pine, a distinctly Southern tree.
The troupe's first production, a 70-minute, one-act play called "Miss Ississippi Mud," was written by Scarritt and directed by Reed. It opened on July 23, 1999 at the Five Flags Dance Academy.[1]
The company is now headquartered in the former chapel of the old Sacred Heart Hospital, above Madison's Diner. The venue lacks a traditional stage and seats only about 35 for most productions.[2]
