Our theater carries with it a great tradition. Our theater's pieces often reflect the times we live in. In 1940 our theater performed Margin of Error, a cutting edge piece addressing anti-Semitism, an all too tragic correlation with the events of the time. With the lack of male actors available from 1942-1945 the BCC performed no shows at the Village Hall. The reality of the Second World War hit home. Even the Village Hall played a patriotic part in the struggle; for the first six months of 1943, it was used as a National Guard depot. Since the club's reopening in 1946 we've produced shows ranging across the spectrum. Our shows have included many of the 'old favorites,' and future hits. We've seen every genre run on our stage ranging from mystery murders to musicals, from 'real life' comedies, to dramatic tradegies, and even produced original shows and workshops written by up and coming playwrights and established authors like our former director and BCC President Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

We are a people's theater. We are not professional actors (thought a few have acted here), but rather people from all walks of life with backgrounds as various as the parts we play on stage. We are a global theater. Our club has performed in the UK at Scarborough's Theatre in the Round, conducted ethnic dance workshops by La Meri and others and produced plays from around the world. And let us not forget we are the oldest and longest running Community Theater in Massachusetts!

Some of the actors who have appeared here over the years have gone off to careers with professional companies. Others have become familiar faces on local and national television. The majority of our performers are happy to surprise their friends, families, and occasionally themselves with their talents.

Apart from our incredible talent on stage we are blessed with dedicated technical crews and production staffs, as well as our Board of Directors and its Executive officers. Their work, though often done in relative anonymity compared to those of the actors, must not be overlooked; these volunteers-all of whom work tirelessly 'before, during, and after the actors' rehearsals' - make sure the shows run smoothly. While some on our volunteers would be reluctant sing and dance in front of an audience, we have had som surprise appearances from the department grace our stage over the years. Of course, there a few who do it all!

Last year's performances of How to Succeed in Busines Without Really Trying, A Flea in Her Ear, On Golden Pond, and Cactus Flower and our summer workshops gave us many fond memories. We hope that you will enjoy our current lineup for this season. Enjoy the show!
