Our Town
Patrick Tangredi
Performances cancelled
We regret to inform you that we are cancelling the rest of the run of the Our Town performances. Though the maxim “The show must go on” is often followed, we are following PCCs policy and feel that it is the right thing to do under the circumstances of the risk involved in gathering groups at this time.
This has been a devastating conclusion for many of our students, staff and larger theatre community. We appreciate the support of so many to make what was a beautiful, moving and memorable production of this timeless classic.

Coming this Spring
Susan lori Parks’s award-winning In the Blood
A modern adaptation of Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter
In The Blood tells the story about a mother, Hester, and her five children (in which the father is not around). She has a reputation in the town as a “slut”, which is affecting her chance at making a better life for her kids. Hester seizes the opportunity to receive help from her children’s fathers, with hopes that one may help them. The play moves to other characters’ stories (confessions). The genre of In The Blood fits with classic tragedy, similar to Greek tragedy, and addresses theme of society’s oppression of people in poverty and those who take advantage of one another.
Directed by Guest Director, Bobby Bermea
