  • TCT announces the BeeKay as a "home for stray dogs"

    Jan 3, 2015

    Tehachapi Community Theatre is in Rehearsal for Sylvia, opening Friday, Jan. 30. In Pete Gurney's 1995 comic masterpiece Sylvia, he wrote about a dog who totally seduces the attentions and affection of a hard working, middle class husband, in one howler of a play. Some may dismiss this glorious evening of nonstop laughs as lightweight entertainment, but beneath all the fun is Gurney's usual focus on the fantasies and foibles of middle class life. "I consider this play to be a variation on the...

  • The Art Studio: Out with the Old, in with the New

    Jan 3, 2015

    7 really went out with a bang at the Art Studio. Well, a rattle, a roll, the howl of the wind and rain – and then the bang of a ceiling crashing in. December's storm left us a big mess, but worse it left us unable to have our Annual Winter Gallery where we celebrate our students and enjoy an evening of art. Our January Canvas & Merlot was also postponed. But not to worry we know how to count our blessings and with some cleaning, some patching, and a fresh coat of paint we're excited and r...

  • Do You Frighten Easily?

    Sep 27, 2014

    That’s the question asked by Tehachapi Community Theatre’s season opener Wait Until Dark. The 1967 film starring Audrey Hepburn was listed in the AFI top 100 suspense/thrillers, and terror lurks in this play. Susy Hendrix (Audriana Lathrop) lost her vision in an accident only a year before and is still learning to deal with her new reality. She has been helped in this by her new husband Sam (played by Joseph Lathrop in his TCT debut), who is firm but encouraging. And it is Sam’s basic goodness that gets them in trouble. On a trip to Montr...

    May 10, 2014

    I think it was stated so well when Betty Davis said, "Hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride." I had no idea just how true this statement would be for the cast of "110 In The Shade" and all of us directing, assistant directing, musical arrangers etc.... This is my first musical to direct and all though I come from a long line of theatrical talent, I never anticipated all this but, as Tom Hanks put it, "If it were easy everyone would do it, it's the hard that makes all worth it." Let me tell you,...
