Theatre Arts 12 | OHCC LIVING | OCTOBER 2021 | Your Theatre Arts Club has been busy arranging for room assignments, planning future events and entertainment, and getting ready for the "new normal." For now, Club Members will be informed of any programming by email as events are scheduled. We are so very pleased to announce the first in-person Monday membership meeting and entertainment since re-opening is Oct. 4 at 7 pm; doors open at 6:30 pm with a short meeting and then the entertainment! "Women Talk: Women of History" is a 34-minute video presentation created by the Quad Collaborative which began as a group of interested AAUW members and Fallbrook "Scarecrow" builders. The video presents the story of over 50 undersung women (she-roes) throughout history who have made a difference in the lives of people throughout the world. Included in the video and on display at Abravanel Hall are the 12 women "sculpturettes" created by artists for the Quad Collaborative. After the video, some of the women who participated in the project will talk about what they learned from bringing this project to life and speaking each woman's words. MEMBERS ONLY, PLEASE. Theatre Arts' Play Readers Theater presented their latest Zoom production on Sept. 10, which was well attended and received (see photos). Our actors (left to right) were Susan Benninghoff (guest actress) and Naomi Katz in a scene from J'oy Vey by Lojo Simon and Anita Simons. Dee Wardell and Joe Ashby in Gin and Tonic by John Clifford; and Janice Pelcher and Valerie Thompson in It's Not About Pot Roast by Arthur Keyser. Our Zoom presentations are directed by Anita Simons and produced by Jody Gorran. They are planning one last production for early December. Remember only members of OHCC Theatre Arts club will receive an invitation to view our Zoom shows, so now is the time to join. Membership is only $10/year and will be in effect through 2022. Such a bargain! Actors' Workshop and Readers' Theatre are taught by our own Sally Benton, a director and instructor of theatre. Classes resumed Sept. 1, and will continue every Wednesday from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, in the Majorca Room. If you missed the first class, drop by and see what we are all about. We have some exciting plans for the coming fall. We've been waiting in the wings. Now it is time to create live theatre again. Join Theatre Arts, one of the best clubs at OHCC. Email Sally (moki2@cox.net) with any questions and/or suggestions. Our nominating committee is working on composing a slate of officers for 2022. Keep your eyes and ears peeled! Our next Board meeting will be Oct. 21 at 12 pm, in the Majorca Room. Board meetings are open to all members, so please do come and join us.
