| Celebrate the Christmas holiday season at the BCT!

DECEMBER 10-12 & 17-18 Based on the
beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features seventeen
Irving Berlin songs and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake. Veterans Bob
Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II.
With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en
route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be
owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. The dazzling score features well
known standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean and
the perennial favorite, White Christmas. WHITE CHRISTMAS is an uplifting
musical worthy of year-round productions. “WHITE CHRISTMAS is a
shiny package most audiences will be happy to unwrap…packed with brightly
staged, well-chosen Irving Berlin numbers.” Contra Costa Times
"WHITE CHRISTMAS has 'hit' stamped
all over it...There just aren't enough superlatives for this irresistible
show." Evening Herald

boys sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the dinettes,
Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they
fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on
and off Broadway. They perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen
utensils. "A
gasser ... with buoyant, earthy humor" says the N.Y. Daily News. March 5-6, & 12-14.

and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich
ladies out of their money, while a small-time crook named Freddy Benson more
humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about
his grandmother's failing health. After

that their small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree
on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female heiress
wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, that
will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end! Based

 | “Froggy" LeSeuer visits a rural Georgia camp
and brings Charlie, a shy young man with him.
He tells everyone that Charlie is from a foreign country and speaks no
English. Once alone Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a
sinister minister; that the minister's fiancée is pregnant; and other
revelations made thinking that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said.
What he does fuels nonstop hilarity and
sets up the climax in which things awry for the "bad guys," and the
"good guys" emerge triumphant. August
13-14 & 20-22.  |
