    Shanan Harrell|Jun 8, 2019

    To begin, for the sake of full transparency, I confess I am the proud director of this TCT production. Citizens of Tehachapi (and surrounding areas)! Listen up! There's a super fun comedy coming your way this June that you don't want to miss. The stage of the beautiful BeeKay Theatre will be transformed into a Georgia fishing lodge where TCT's "The Foreigner" will entertain you for an evening of giggles - while also serving up some tasty food for thought. What happens when a desperately shy and...

  • Adults buzz the Bee

    Shanan Harrell|Aug 4, 2018

    The "adult in the room" is defined as the person in the group who makes level-headed decisions. The adult is the one we look to for wise, measured thinking. The adult is the emotionally, mentally mature person who may serve as a guide and mentor to the younger ones. The adult archetype holds true in many cases, however, at "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" playing at the BeeKay Theatre, the adults in charge are equally as kooky and off-the-wall as the kids. Rona Lisa Perretti (played...

  • The Bee comes to the Beekay

    Shanan Harrell|Jul 21, 2018

    For a moment, bring to mind your adolescent self. Your fifth/sixth grade self. Your 11/12-year-old self. Do you recall the confidence and self-assurance that you radiated to the world? Remember feeling so comfortable in your own skin? Recollect how socially adept and uber cool you were? Yeah, me neither. For most of us, the adolescent years were a perfect storm of raging hormones, awkward bodies and emotional angst. For six of the actors in TCT's next musical production, "The 25th Annual Putnam...

    Shanan Harrell|Jun 9, 2018

    Any self-respecting fan of Alfred Hitchcock will instantly recognize the title of TCT's next production, "The 39 Steps". However, that same fan may be surprised to find the stage play of Hitchcock's thriller to be an unexpected cocktail of espionage and mistaken identity poured over a bare-bones stage of free-flying props and furniture, then served up with a twist of wild slapstick. Cheers! This award-winning comedy calls for the entirety of the 1935 film to be performed with a cast of only...

    Shanan Harrell|Feb 1, 2014

    The current poster display outside the Beekay Theatre teases you with its circus theme and wacky character lineup and the tag line..."and now for something completely different!" Next up on TCT's lineup of great performances this season is George Herman's award-winning play A Company of Wayward Saints. A Company of Wayward Saints' tells the story of a travelling troupe of actors/comedians who specialize in performing improvisational scenes – a human circus of comedy - to the delight of their a...
