One Eleven Theatre Company in Grants Pass is excited to announce their very first Outdoor Summer Musical, "Daddy Long Legs,” playing this August 21st-29th, 2026 at River Valley Redwood’s Outdoor Amphitheatre (2193 Midway Ave in Grants Pass)! Enjoy "theatre under the stars" with the opportunity to bring a picnic or purchase food for the perfect date night or family outing! The venue opens at 6:00PM, with all shows starting at 7:30PM.

History: “Daddy Long Legs” is a heartwarming and romantic Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor, based on the classic novel by Jean Webster. Previously this treasured novel inspired many film adaptations, including a 1955 film starring Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron. The 2015 musical features music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist, Paul Gordon (Jane Eyre), and Tony-winning librettist/director, John Caird (Les Misérables). Our production will be brought to life by the Producer & Director of our recent production of “Anastasia,” supported by local designers & creatives. As our first Outdoor Summer Musical, “Daddy Long Legs” is sure to enchant young and old alike with its joyful and heartwarming story, talented cast, live band, as well as the outdoor setting being the perfect backdrop for a “family picnic,” “romantic date night,” or “girls night out!”

Synopsis: Jerusha Abbott is the “Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home” until a secret patron decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor’s identity – so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Although she knows that he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly “old” gentleman. But another relationship soon begins to develop in Jerusha’s life. Jervis Pendleton is the well-do-do young uncle of one of Jerusha’s roommates, who introduces her to a world of literature, travel and adventure. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerusha’s letters chronicle her emergence as a delightfully independent “New American Woman.” Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover – a fact that will change her life forever.

The Team: Our production stars Rachel Kostrna (recently seen in “Oliver!” with One Eleven Theatre and “Twelfth Night” with Rogue Valley Shakespeare Company) as Jerusha Abbott and Josh Krull (recently seen in “Anastasia” with One Eleven Theatre and “Every Christmas Story Ever Told” at Barnstormers Theatre) as Jervis Pendleton. The creative minds behind the show include Erica Bury as Director, Tianna Eddy as Producer, and Katie Jarvis Shomler as Music Director.
