PCC Theatre Arts presents:
TREASURE ISLAND, by Ara Watson, from the book by Robert Louis Stevenson. Directed by Mickey Nugent. September 21 - October 2, 2011, in the Proscenium Theatre (Fri. and Sat. at 7 p.m.; Sat. and Sun. at 2 p.m.) ASL interpreters: September 30. Tickets are $6. A map, an island, a treasure and pirates—an unforgettable adventure awaits those who dare! Treasure Island Family Adventure, a free event for kids and their parents, is Saturday, September 10 at 9-11 a.m. in the Black Box Theatre. (School matinee performances are also available for elementary and middle school groups.)
 
ROOSTERS, by Milcha Sanchez-Scott. Directed by Dr. Frank Pickard. November 9-20, 2011, in the Black Box Theatre (Wed. preview, Thu.-Sat. at 7:30 p.m.; Sun. at 2 p.m.) ASL interpreters: November 17. Tickets are $15 with discounts available. Interlacing scenes of tempestuous drama with moments of dream-like imagery, this contemporary, Southwestern American drama weaves a tale of family conflicts and needs. The characters include
the father, recently released from jail for murdering a man over a cockfight; his resentful son bitter over his father’s abandonment; an ethereal daughter hiding from reality in a shroud of spirits; the long-suffering mother striving for family peace and normality; and a lusty profane aunt.
 
CURTAINS, book by Rupert Holmes, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Brought to the stage by the creative team of Todd Poelstra, Mickey Nugent, Nancy Davis Booth and Dr. Mark Nelson. February 22 - March 4, 2012, in the Proscenium Theatre (Wed.-Sat. at 7:30 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m.) ASL interpreters: February 29. Tickets are $18 with discounts available. A murder-mystery, madcap musical comedy set in a theatre in 1959 Boston. The mayhem begins when the remarkably untalented star of the new musical “Robbin’ Hood!” is murdered during her opening night curtain call. A police detective, who moonlights as a musical theater fan, sequesters the entire cast and crew backstage to solve the case and save the show. Musical numbers include Wide Open Spaces, The Woman's Dead, Show People, He Did It, and A Tough Act to Follow
. Nominated for seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Choreography.


INHERIT THE WIND, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. Directed by Nancy Davis Booth. April 11–22, 2012, in the Black Box Theatre (Wed. preview, Thu.-Sat. at 7:30 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m.). ASL interpreters: April 19. Tickets are $15 with discounts available. Set in a present-day small town, a man’s right to think is challenged as faith and science collide in a raging debate between the literal interpretation of creation found in the book of “Genesis” and the scientific theory of evolution as posited by Charles Darwin in his “Origin of Species” (1859). Written in 1955, the play is a fictionalized version of the famous 1925 Scope’s “Monkey” Trial, involving a teacher arrested, tried and convicted for teaching evolutionary theory to his public school students during science class.
