The Hitching Post Theater is a unique concept in theatrical production.
What you will witness is the end result of what 5 writers, 5 directors
and 10 actors will write, rehearse, and perform all in the same day.
On Sunday morning, the 5 writers are given a theme and only 4 hours to write a 7~10 page short play.
Once the play is written, the actors and directors have only 6 ½ hours to prepare for their first show.
What takes place on stage is fresh, random and wildly entertaining.

The California Actors Theatre would like to announce its upcoming production, “Room Service” by by John Murrey and Allen Boretz

A nimble-witted producer, living on credit with several actors in a Broadway hotel, is desperately in need of a good script. He finds one, and, by great good luck, he also finds an angel with $15,000. The play shows how, during a hectic few days, the producer plays hide-and-seek with the angel who wants to withdraw his financial support, manages to outwit creditors, and at the very last moments puts over his play in spite of the most ludicrous and unexpected obstacles.

Production dates are September 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, September 13 and 20 at 2:00 p.m.

All tickets for opening night, September 4, are half off! That’s just $7:50 per seat!

Ticket prices are as follows:
General Admission – $15.00
Students – $12.00
Seniors (55+) – $11.00
Children (12-) – $5.00

Vintage Theatre presents
Dial “M” for Murder
a drama of suspense by Frederick Knott
Directed by Bernie Cardell

It’s the perfect murder…or is it? Tony Wendice has married his wife, Margot for her money and plans to murder her before she leaves him for another man. Unfortunately…the man hired to kill her gets murdered himself and Margot survives, and Tony must act quickly to have Margot convicted of his murder. It’s one spine-tingling scene after another as Tony, Margot, her lover and a Scotland Yard detective play a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Plays through September 20
