| I can’t think of a more enjoyable evening out than attending live theatre, and with that in mind, and hoping that 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, Mesa Encore Theatre, and Nearly Naked Theatre Company are general seating, so we can all sit near each other. Let me know you'll be there, and we'll keep an eye out 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! |

| Arizona Theatre Company presents The 39 Steps February 9 - 26 Herberger Theatre Center 222 E. Monroe, Phoenix |
| WCC Theatre Night: Saturday, February 11th |
| Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have … Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps. A mind-blowing cast of four actors play over 150 characters in this fast-paced tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily entertaining adventure. The madness begins when mild-mannered Richard Hannay starts his evening at the theatre and ends the night with a dead body in his lap. Caught in maze of murder, espionage and flirtatious entanglements, our hero careens from the British music hall to the moors of Scotland and back to the London Palladium in search of a plausible alibi and the true identity of the killer. Broadway’s most intriguing, most riotous, most unmissable Tony-winning comedy smash proves that anything the movies can do, the theatre can do more hilariously! “Once this fun ride leaves the station, you don’t want to get off!” – New York Daily News “Absurdly enjoyable” – The New York Times |

| Stray Cat is thrilled to announce that we will be teaming up with the new incoming class of MFA Actors at ASU for a kinetic and visceral production of this wicked expressionistic fantasy. Set in a time-bending, darkly comic world between heaven and hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot uses flashbacks to an imagined childhood, and a courtroom in Purgatory with lawyers who call for the testimonies of such witnesses as Mother Teresa, Caiaphas, Saint Monica, Sigmund Freud and...wait for it...Artistic Director of Nearly Naked Theatre, Damon Dering will be down our alley to play - who else - Satan...to reexamine the plight and fate of the New Testament's most infamous and unexplained sinner. "An extraordinary play...not since Angels in America have I seen a play so unafraid to acknowledge the power of the spirit..."- The Guardian |

| Often referred to as the greatest musical of all time, WEST SIDE STORY is the immortal story of two star-crossed lovers caught in a turf war of rival ethnic gangs. This ground breaking, dynamic, and unforgettable musical features the classic Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim songs Tonight, America, Maria, and Somewhere. Celebrating it's 50th anniversary, West Side Story hauntingly paints a picture as relevant today as it was when it originally opened on Broadway. |

| After you’re gone, how will you be remembered? Jean is just trying to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in a café, when a cell phone belonging to the man at the next table starts to ring. And ring. And ring. Jean realizes the man isn't answering it…because he's dead. Out of confusion, annoyance and the tiniest bit of sick curiosity, she answers his phone. So begins DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE, a wildly imaginative new comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl, who authored last season’s smash IN THE NEXT ROOM (OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY). A funny and often times otherworldly play “hung up” on how we memorialize the dead - and how that remembering changes us - DEAD MAN’ S CELL PHONE is the lyrical odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. “…beguiling new comedy…Ms. Ruhl’s work blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving.” - The New York Times CAPTIVATING, DARK-EDGED ROMANTIC COMEDY – Entertainment Weekly A JOYRIDE…RUHL RULES! – San Francisco Gate CLEVER, EDGY COMEDY – Talkin’ Broadway A WHIMSICAL TALE – Show Business Weekly FRESH AND HUMOROUS – Variety |
