| The WCC Theatre Club I can’t think of a more enjoyable evening out than attending live theatre, and with that in mind, and hoping you feel the same way, I’ve created the Women’s Community Connection Theatre Club. All you have to do to join is show up! Yes, it is that simple! Here’s how it works: the WCC and friends go to the theatre often. When we’ve scheduled attending a play, I’ll announce the date we’re going, and other pertinent information on the WCC website, and in the WCC webzine, so if anyone also would like to attend that particular production, they’ll know which night they can see the play, and run into lots of lesbians at the same time! The theatres used by Stray Cat and Nearly Naked Theatre Company are general seating, so we can all sit near each other. Let me know you'll be there, and I'll watch for you. Sometimes I manage to negotiate a special deal for WCC readers: Actor’s Theatre will give anyone who calls the theatre box office to buy their tickets, and mentions the WCC, a discount of $10.00 off their ticket price. Stray Cat Theatre offers a 10% discount to anyone purchasing their ticket online and using the code WCC10. If you decide to take advantage of these special deals, you can use it for any performance; you don’t have to go on the date I specify as WCC Theatre Night. Let’s fill up those theatres!

| To open Season 12, Nearly Naked Theatre presents the Arizona premiere of Saucy Jack & the Space Vixens, book by Charlotte Mann, lyrics by Charlotte Mann & Michael Fidler and music by Jonathan Croose & Robin Forrest. In a futuristic universe, where Disco has ceased to be merely a musical form and has achieved religious status, danger lurks around every corner of a seedy cabaret,and the audience its patrons, presided over by the alluring and charismatic Saucy Jack. The dreams of the denizens of this cosmic cafe are as dead as the cabaret acts... that are being murdered one by one. Then the Space Vixens, intergalactic super-fashion crime-fighters armed with the Power of Disco, arrive to remind us that if you believe in yourself and say it out loud… it will come true. Directed by Damon Dering, with music direction by Mark 4Man and choreography by Lynzee Paul-4Man. |

| The classic Mel Brooks movie is ALIVE...and it's headed here! You'll have a monstrously good time at this spectacular new production, winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Broadway.com Audience Award for Best Musical! This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster--but not without scary and hilarious complications. The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three-time TONY Award® winner Mel Brooks himself--who wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book along with his record-breaking team from THE PRODUCERS: five-time Tony Award® winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony-winning writer, Thomas Meehan. |

| Does this play make me look fat? The Southwest premiere of the latest from provocateur Neil LaBute. A love story about the near impossibility of love, REASONS TO BE PRETTY introduces us to Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph. Unfortunately, he also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, all hell breaks loose. A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, REASONS TO BE PRETTY has been celebrated as "…some of the freshest and most illuminating American dialogue to be heard anywhere these days…a fresh take on the eternal matter of achieving adulthood." |
