Fall 2024 Productions

Tigers Be Still

By Kim Rosenstock

Directed by Brent Alford

This is a co-production between TCC Northeast and TCC Northwest.

Summary

"Tigers Be Still" is a comedy that follows the misadventures of Sherry Wickman, a young woman who has recently earned her masters degree in art therapy only to find herself moving back home with her family, sending out countless résumés and waiting for the job offer that never comes. Unemployed and overwhelmed, Sherry retreats to her childhood bed and remains there until an unexpected employment opportunity gives her a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would be just perfect.

Performances

  • Evening: October 2–5 at 7 p.m.
  • Matinee: October 5 at 2 p.m.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Summary

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is a delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
