******************************************************

Opening September 10, 2010-

Proof by David Auburn, ran on Broadway for 3 years, garnering five Tony Award Nominations, including two wins (Best Play and Best Actress Mary-Louise Parker); The Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Joseph Kesselring Award for best new playwright.

Relationships among family and students rearrange themselves in the wake of a professor’s death, and in the scramble to solve the mystery of a mathematical proof. There’s no murder, but Who Done It is the question which dominates the proceedings. The popular film version starred Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

  Directed by Mark Fisher

SOME STRONG LANGUAGE

Play Dates: Sept 10, 11, 17, 18, 19M, 24, 25M, 25

**********************************

Opening November 19, 2010-

The stage version of the classic Frank Capra film “It’s a Wonderful Life” ushers the theatre into the holiday season.

Ever wonder what life would have been like if you were never born.  Mostly everyone you know would be better off, one way or another.  The girl of your dreams would get the boy of her dreams.  Your parents would be better off because there would be one less person to care for…right? George Baily thought that and soon discovered that “It’s a Wonderful Life” after all.

The original film garnered 5 Oscar nominations (including Best Actor James Stewart, Best Director, and Best Film), and is ranked by the American Film Institute among the 100 Best American Films and the number one most inspirational American film of all time.

 Directed by Doug Jockinsen

Play Dates Nov 19, 20, 26, 27, 28M, Dec 3, 4M, 4

Opening January 28, 2011- MUSICAL THEATRE without the Musical Theatre Price!

Springtime will be welcomed by one of the funniest Broadway Musicals of all time, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” written by Bert Shevelove and Larry Gelbart (of “M*A*S*H” fame), with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.  “Forum” has been to Broadway three times, earning a total of fifteen Tony Award nominations, and two Drama Desk nominations.

Pseudolus is the laziest slave in Rome and has but one wish; purchase his freedom. When his master and mistress leave for the day he finds out that the young master has fallen in love with a virgin in the house of Lycus, a slave dealer specializing in beautiful women. Pseudolus concocts a deal in which he will be freed if he can procure the girl for young Hero. Of course, it can’t be that simple as everything begins to go wrong.

Directed by Ruthanne Jennings

**********************************

Opening March 18, 2011-

“Foxfire” by Hume Cronin and Susan Cooper is a rarely produced gem, which includes several songs.  The show received three Tony nominations.  Set in the southern Appalachian mountains, the story is based on the Foxfire project, which documented rural Appalachian life.  Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband Hector. Her tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son Dillard, a country singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run away. Annie’s battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching and magical flashbacks of her life with Hector.

Directed by Alex Zonn

Play Dates:  Mar 18, 19, 25, 26 27M, Apr 1, 2M, 2

*********************************************************

Opening June 10, 2011-

Closing the subscription season is “Taming of the Shrew,” a wildly popular comedy based on the battle of the sexes. The rollicking tale has provided inspiration for a contemporary film (10 Things I Hate About You), six operas, one musical (Kiss Me, Kate), a ballet, countless films all over the world, including the famous Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton version directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and twenty-five trips to Broadway. 

Baptista Minola has 2 daughters.  Everyone wants to marry his fair and sweet, Bianca, but no one wants his equally beautiful, but spiteful, mean and just nasty daughter, Kate.  What’s a father to do?  He makes a decision that will affect Bianca and Kate in more ways than one.  Bianca can not marry until Kate does.    Bianca’s suitors begin to search for a unsuspecting man to become Kate’s husband.  Enter a victim (I mean suitor).  The swaggering Petruchio, eager to wive it wealthily in Padua, agrees to do just this.   He vows to marry and then tame this untamable shrew.

Directed by David Siler

TEHACHAPI COMMUNITY THEATRE AWARDS PAGE

Over the past year, TCT has been honored with several awards for its commitment to the community.   Among these are Tehachapi Main Street’s Best Restoration of a building, The California Downtown Association Golden Eagle award for beautification of downtown Tehachapi, and the latest, the Kern Council of Government gave the Regional Award of Merit for Local Government to the City of Tehachapi and Tehachapi Community Theatre for the restoration of the BeeKay Theatre (click here for BeeKay article).

In addition to the award from Kern Council, TCT also received a personal letter of congratulations from Senator Diane Feinstein.

These awards reflect the commitment that TCT has to the community and without the support of the community; TCT would still be looking for a place to call home.

The board of Directors would like to thank everyone that has supported TCT in the past and hope we can keep that support going for another 40 years.

Stuart Ross’ Christmas Offering of Forever Plaid, “PLAID TIDINGS”

Plaid Tidings is a  show that offers the best of Forever Plaid tied-up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top! Filled with Christmas standards that have all been “Plaid-erized,” our boys are back to do their Christmas Special. At first they aren’t sure why they’ve returned, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world.

Directed by Debbie Martin

February 19 to March 6, 2010

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, written by the  Reduced Shakespeare Company

June 11 to June 26, 2010

John-Michael Tebelak’s “GODSPELL“

The musical derived from the Gospel of Matthew, with a moving soft rock score by Steven Schwartz (of Wicked fame). Featuring “Day by Day” and other hits.
Directed by Guy Martin.

While we’re busily pinching ourselves just to make sure that the events of the past two years are really happening, we’ve decided to give ourselves one MORE reason for a reality check. TCT now has a “Second Space”. Whereas the BeeKay Theatre was always intended to be a Performance Space, a ‘clean house’, the Second Space is intended to be a combo Rehearsal Hall, Scene Shop, Paint Shop, Props Creation and storage, Costume storage and Costume Shop, as well as Office Space for the Board of Directors. It’s a large, multi-area, industrial-themed place where TCT Members can meet, create, rehearse, lounge, and generally hang out. This is the space where you CAN put your feet on the furniture . . . once it has furniture, that is. It may not look like much now — but remember that piece of plywood with the hole in it where you could peek through and see a peach tree?

Right now the Second Space needs your volunteer hours. There’s a lot of little things to be done, and many hands make light work. Together we can do the things that we only dreamed about two years ago — when we were “homeless”, semi-broke, and had the idea that we were made for better things. Those dreams are now becoming TCT’s reality — following two years of a TON of hard work. Because, as a wise man once said, “Dreams are wonderful things, but dirty hands built the Pyramids.”

Dear TCT Patron/Member/Others,

We have moved our website to a local host! What happens in Tehachapi, stays in Tehachapi!

We are now thrilled to be hosted by Sparks at Grungehobbit.com

And we would like to thank Debi for all of the incredible love and guidance (not to mention the hours and hours of donated time) she has shown TCT by setting up this new website and helping us to “find freedom on the Internet!” Free at last!

We now also have a “Second Space” chunk of real estate to go with the BeeKay — more on that later!

DOUG – The V.P.
