Our holiday party last Friday was a great time. We all went to Ambience, where the entire staff got manicures and pedicures--including all the guys who have never had anyone touch their toes, let alone everything else that comes with a pedicure. We brought our own food and were sure to share all our goodies with the Ambience staff, who had a good time as well.

The name of the game right now at TCTC: Reflect and Prepare.
We're looking back on the year in these final days of 2009, which was (truth be told) not the best year for us financially. Thanks to our generous supporters and donors, we were able to stay in the black, but as we make plans for 2010, we are exploring new methods of publicizing, selling, and creating our shows. It's all about making everything better in the new year.
This does not mean the year was all negative--far from it. We had a successful STAR program in the summer, with one of the largest and most talented "senior" classes in years. Beauty and the Beast, Jr., was a huge smash hit, and Holiday Follies did much better than anyone anticipated, with an original script and ambitious production goals. (How many shows include a bus that splits open down the middle? or Santa's sleigh careening in front of said bus during a snowstorm? or Frosty the Snowman talking into a cell phone?)
As we look forward to the second half of our 2009-2010 season, we feel excitement for Jack and the Beanstalk, which is currently leading all four shows as the best-selling, and Tom Sawyer, perhaps the most literary show we've done in a while. Playwright Kelly G. has adapted the old TCTC Sawyer script for this updated version, which retains Mark Twain's original narration and dialogue.

That's it for now. Happy holidays from TCTC, and we'll see you again in the New Year!
