The only exclusively lesbian-oriented publication in the Phoenix Area
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."
