"SCRIPTED" DECEMBER 18 TO JANUARY 10 FREE Available at wctperformingartscenter.org... Six short, one-act plays centered on Christmas, family traditions and imaginary figures common to the year-end festivities. The plays are a mix of comedy, suspense, and romance and are selected from more than 130 script submissions received from playwrights across the country. In Outsourcing Christmas by May Steelsmith, a pro writer and actress with many credits in stage and film, a brother and sister begrudgingly return home for Christmas only to find that their parents have gone off to the Bahamas for the holiday and in their place they’ve hired an elderly couple as stand-ins. The resulting action bristles with sharp comedy. In Angela’s Restaurant by Chip Bolcik, a successful playwright, pro photographer and voice-over specialist, hard times have fallen on a generous restaurateur in a bad part of town as she sadly prepares to close her restaurant for good. However, she serves one last patron, a homeless woman who turns out to be her angel of mercy. The True Meaning of Christmas, a satire by Kate Danley who is heralded online as a "USA Today Best-Selling Author", boggles minds and cracks us up when shopping mall employees argue over whether a zombie Santa Claus and vampire reindeer are appropriate for this joyful time of year. Two Turtle Doves by Hal Corley, a writer for TV soap opera "All My Children (1991-97), finds two apartment-house neighbors meeting romantically for the first time when one knocks on the other’s door near midnight on Christmas Day. Joe & Eddy’s by Jim Gordon, whose plays have appeared in the Beest Short Plays of 2005 and 2006, early one Christmas Eve the bartender Tom is eerily visited by what turns out to be a spirit from his past. Seth Freeman, a TV producer, credited for many episodes of Lou Grant (1977), The Best Times (1985) and Brookly Bridge (1991) brings us the mostly true story of the origin of a favorite Christmas carol shows up in No Sound of Music", where lovers Marta and Franz Gruber are tasked with saving the day and making history on a withering winter’s night in 1818 Austria. Directors for the show include Damian Sebouhian, David Partch, and Don Samson, along with Virginia Handley, Liz Dellett and Kevin Klay. On-stage actors will include Kelly Kesey, Christopher Martin, and Bruce Andich, among many other local talents. #willits #theatrelover #theatreactor #theatre #theatephotography #theatrelover #theater #theatrearts #theatrephoto #theatreplay #theatreworks #theatres #mendocino #mendocinocounty #willitscalifornia #willitsca #Scripted #playwriting #holiday #christmas #oneacts #ChipBolcik #KateDanley #JimGordon #SethFreeman #DonSamson

Watch Benjamin Strasser's reading of Howl. In a nod to the freedom of artistic reach that Ginsberg championed, Ben ends Howl, in black and white on the streets of Willits, literally screaming at the sky.

One of the single greatest American masterpieces of the 20th century, performed by Willits own Benjamin Strasser with intensity and respect. This poem, almost 70 years old, continues to shock and inspire us. The WCT has the rights to play this performance for one week starting now. It is free to watch but donations are encouraged. "As Managing Director of the Willits Community Theatre, I am thrilled that we are able to give artists a safe place to perform. I know that if you take 30 minutes of your life during this next week to soak this in, you will find strength in art." - Jeff Shipp https://www.wctperformingartscenter.org/howl
