For a heartfelt comedy of what constitutes real value in life, Bakersfield Mist runs at Willits Community Theatre September 18 through October 4. In the play by Stephen Sachs, a hard-tongued trailer woman swears a thrift store painting she bought is a Jackson Pollock worth millions. She only has to convince an effete and opinionated art expert. Shows are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:00pm, Sunday Matinees at 2:00pm. Tickets are $25, available at www.wctperformingartscenter.org, or the door. Due to adult language and sexual content, the show is not appropriate for patrons under 17 unless accompanied by an adult.

Gloriana Musical Theatre Announces Its 51st Season!
We’re thrilled that 9 to 5: The Musical will open our 51st Season!
Based on the hit 1980 film and featuring music and lyrics by the legendary Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 is a hilarious, high-energy musical about three coworkers who are pushed to their limits by their sexist and egotistical boss. When Violet, Judy, and Doralee decide they’ve had enough, they hatch a plan to turn the tables—and discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and standing up for themselves along the way.
With catchy songs, big laughs, and plenty of heart, 9 to 5 is the perfect way to launch Gloriana’s 51st season!
Stay tuned for audition information for upcoming shows, performance dates, and more. We can’t wait to share this fabulous show with you!
