A Time to Perform
Snappy New Year! Hope this year brings fresh starts and new beginnings. Embrace the sunrise of a bright future. Hard to believe it’s a new year and a new decade. Consider this month a blank slate. You can fill it will all things theatrical! The schools are working on new drama presentations for the spring semester and there are exiting new seasons from our local groups at the Gallo Center, the Prospect Theatre, Stage Conservatory and Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock and more. Take a look at their upcoming seasons and plan your theatre viewing.

Three classic fairy tales (The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Goldilocks and the Three Bears) begin in their usual “once upon a time” fashion; however, this time things change on the way to “happily ever after” as the pigs wonder what life would be like if the wolf were not always at their door, the billy goats gruff decide they can’t face another trip-trap over the troll’s bridge, and Papa Bear has had enough of the meddlesome little Goldilocks!
