One highlight of our company is what we call "Active Family Theater."
This plan was created for those who would love to participate in theater but work or attend school full time.
Rehearsals are held two nights a week and one day on the weekend. Both adults and students can enjoy a theatrical experience while keeping up their day-to-day responsibilities.
Families benefit from a modified rehearsal schedule so the actors are not away from home every night.
Many of our shows are designed to share the stage and with our rehearsal system we are able to produce more shows for more age groups, thus providing more opportunities to be involved.
"As a non-profit 501(c3) organization, the mission of the Brookings Harbor Community Theater is to inspire, educate, and entertain children and families through the experience of quality theater both on and off stage. We exist to provide children, families, and adults a safe and creative environment where they are encourage to be themselves and to provide them with opportunities for personal growth, character development and an appreciation for cultural arts."
Brookings Harbor Community Theater is a collaborative effort involving many people with a variety of talents. We find that families who benefit the most from all that BHCT has to offer are the ones who see volunteering at the theater as quality time spent together in a fun, imaginative and mutually rewarding environment. The objective of rehearsing and presenting a BHCT theater production is to provide children with opportunities to build essential life skills, friendships, and great memories, alongside their parents, siblings, and the many members of our theater community.
Brookings Harbor Community Theater
The Golden Girls are back, live onstage in a heartwarming comedy, The Cemetery Club, opening Friday, February 17th, at Brookings Harbor Community Theater. Directed by Howard Patterson, The Cemetery Club is the funny and moving tale of three Jewish widows, old friends who struggle with wit and chutzpah to make new lives for themselves, each in her own way. Their monthly group visits to the cemetery bring out both the best and the worst in them.
Lucille (Victoria Weller), eager to cancel the "club", is a wild party animal on the prowl for anything in pants. Doris (Gail Brotherhood) has made a shrine of her husband's grave, where she chats with him to fill him in on what he's missed since he's been deceased. Sweet-tempered Ida (Karen McMahon) is somewhere in the middle, ready to make tentative baby steps toward new relationships. When widower Sam, the "playboy butcher" (Howard Patterson/Joe Donahue), arrives on the scene, the ladies' friendship is severely tested. It doesn't help that Sam apparently has a chatty girlfriend (Judie Hanson), who claims him as her prize.
The Cemetery Club runs for three weekends: February 17-19, 24-26 and March 2-4. curtain is at 7:30 on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2:00 for Sunday Matinees. This show is recommended for mature audiences.
Ticket prices are $10.00 for Adults, $9.00 for Seniors and $7.00 for Students. Tickets are available at Wright's Custom Frame Shop in Brookings and New Wave Video in Harbor.
