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...

Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" opens at the BeeKay Theatre on June 1, bringing a trainload of laughter in this spoof of Hitchcock's 1935 thriller film. Although the script for the stage comedy is almost identical to the film script, it's in the madcap playing that the comedy springs to life. Four actors portray all the roles under the direction of Karl Schuck. Schuck has made a speciality of comedy since joining Tehachapi Community Theatre in 2005, playing the wacky neighbor in Neil Simon's...

I admit it, I'm not real big on housework. I do it as little of it as possible. Okay, okay, really, I HATE HOUSEWORK! But houses need work, and every now and then I find I have to do some (more) cleaning. I really identify with the saying "I dusted once and the dust came back; I'm not falling for that again!" and I try to put it off as long as possible...and usually until I'm expecting company. In fact, I wonder if my house would ever really get cleaned at all if no one ever came over. Probably...

Anyone who was in elementary school in the mid-Twentieth Century will remember the autoharp. In those days, we all sang every day in our classrooms, and autoharp was the most ubiquitous instrument for accompaniment. Being picked to play it on any given day was an honor. We learned a basic strum and the three buttons to push for chords in a particular key. Bryan Bowers, one of the foremost masters of the autoharp, has taken it far from the schoolroom. On Saturday, May 5, at 7 p.m., Bowers will...

I read somewhere that every time you learn something, your brain gets a new wrinkle in it, suggesting that the more wrinkles your brain has, the smarter you are. Sometimes I just don't want to waste any wrinkles on things I don't really need to know, but then other times I get a kick out of learning useless facts. Somewhere along the way I have accumulated a long list of things none of us probably really needs to know, and as you read through them, you can decide for yourself if you want to use...

Maybe we're drawn into loving "Steel Magnolias" because we see real life truth in it. Inspired in the heart of author Robert Harling after he had lost his own beloved sister, Harling found solace, then joy in writing about that part of her life. Somehow, when Harling combined cherished memories of his sister with how the town's women pulled together to support her, this soulful hit comedy was birthed. TCT's production casts some of our very finest actresses, who draw us into Truvy's beauty...

And the gypsies dance and the gypsies sing and the gypsies holler and they stamp their feet to the music, fala lalala, la la la, fala lalala la laah! When I was a wee child, I asked my mom why my stomach made noises when I was hungry. She told me, very matter-of-factly, that there were little men in my tummy whose job it was to shovel food from my stomach into the intestines. She said those men loved their work, and when they didn't have anything to do, they banged their shovels against the wall...
In the 1970s, some folksingers, including Bob Dylan, began to "plug-in" and "amp up" like the rockers. Now, pop music is coming full circle as many rock 'n' rollers un-plug. For instance, the two former rockers of Ryanhood, Ryan Green and Cameron Hood, were named 'Best Group/Duo in the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMAs). They will demonstrate this blending of musical genres when they return to the stage at Fiddlers Crossing on February 23. Green and Hood met in high school where...
