PLAY SYNOPSIS: This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Please note that WRCT Director's Showcase one-act plays in the Studio Theatre are more edgy than traditional Mainstage Theatre productions.
THE STORY:
Mrs. Johnson is a high school English teacher and guidance counselor in a loving marriage. As she recounts her experiences with a favored student from her past, Mrs. Johnson slowly reveals the truth that is hidden just beneath the surface details of her life.
ALL THE WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU is a solo play about love, hard choices, and the cost of fulfilling an all-consuming desire.
Support YOUR Community Theatre
Donate today!
WRCT is committed to providing productions that captivate audiences. We strive to maintain affordable ticket prices, making live theatre accessible to our entire community.
WRCT is run by one full-time staff member, our Board of Directors, key lead volunteer positions, and our numerous loyal core volunteers and participants. This means we have the luxury and resources available to provide full training and on-boarding for beginners. We work alongside you, supporting whatever you need, so you never feel overwhelmed. You are encouraged to step forward to tackle something you are interested in, without already having experience.
An Actor Prepares
Auditions are open for all! Experienced actors are regularly joined on the WRCT stage by those who have never performed before.
Backstage Techies
No show is possible without those working behind the curtain. Try your hand at lighting, sound, or set design. Or contribute to costumes, hair,
make-up, and props.
Our Very Own Venue
Owning our own theatre affords us many opportunities but it also includes massive upkeep. Help with set-up, general cleaning, and maintenance is always appreciated.
Final Notes
Directors are needed at the helm of every show. We support directors to choose their own material and encourage submissions to our
MainStage season.
Cast Camaraderie
I enjoy so many aspects of being involved in WRCT! From acting to working the concessions area! I love working with these people!
