THE FOOTHILL THEATRE COMPANY
For
32-years The Foothill Theatre Company has been producing live theatre
for the communities of Nevada County, and beyond. The 2008
season
is uniquely shaping up to be very American in nature, offering
an
exciting array of contemporary and classical fare, Tony Award and
Pulitzer Prize winners,
musicals, comedies, dramas - a veritable theatre feast!
Through
2008, The Foothill Theatre Company plans to expand its
Education
Program (Studio FTC), that offers low-cost student matinees that
feature an educational talk-back session for grades 3-12. FTC
also plans to open the Student Apprentice program to include all areas
of theatre production. The non-profit organization's mission
statement clearly identifies it's commitment to the
arts and
community: "The Mission of The Foothill
Theatre Company is to serve our community through professional theatre
that entertains and challenges and enriches." Without
doubt this season will be as rewarding to the senses as the past
32-years of successful standing ovation performances. Owners: Non-Profit Organization supported/directed by the Board of Directors.

April 24-May 25: Doubt, A Parable: Did he or didn't he? This crackling drama twists and turns like a rollercoaster, and will have you changing sides repeatedly-even after you leave the theatre! Soon to be a major motion picture. (See it at FTC first!)

September 25- October 26: On Golden Pond: The classic story of Norman and Ethel Thayer and the summer they spent On Golden Pond.
October 23-November 23: Hamlet: Ghost story...Family drama...Political thriller..Shakespeare's Hamlet is not only the most famous play in the history of theatre-it's also a ripping great yarn! This production will be performed in an intimate setting of only 99 seats, reserve yours today!
November 20-December 28: Little Women: Sands Hall's brilliant adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic. Each in her own way, these Little Women serve as gracious reminders of the spirit of giving and selflessness that makes Christmas the most hallowed season of the year!
December 4- December 21: SantaLand Diaries: Had it up to here with holly-jolly Xmas and ho-ho-ho? This is David Sedaris' outrageously funny memoir about the year he took up a temp job in SantaLand, assisting a constantly changing rotation of very jaded Santa Clauses...A new Santa brings a new attitude though, and warms his cynical heart.
