If you promise to keep it quiet, I’ll share a great discovery: The Summer Rep Theatre Festival at Santa Rosa JC. This is the first year I’ve bought season tickets and I couldn’t be happier. So far, we’ve seen Fox on the Fairway by Ken Ludwig and Shreck the Musical. Both were extremely well produced with high-quality sets, elaborate costumes, tight direction, well performed live music and terrific acting. Students come from all over the USA to participate in this 5-show season. Next week is Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance
For $15.00 a ticket, ample, close parking and two comfortable theaters it’s a package that’s hard to beat!
The fall season of the SRJC Theatre Arts Department looks good, too. It includes Distracted, Les Miserables, and The Cherry Orchard.
To witness a new generation of students fall in love with theatre is more than enjoyable. It’s hopeful!
