LAST MEETING (December 3rd)

John Luziach, from the Oster Regent Theater, will spoke to the club about their next play, “Inspecting Carol”. The show (the third in the four play season) is a hilarious and timely show business farce about a small professional theater group who is in jeopardy of losing their $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). To monitor the group, the NEA sends an inspector to view their next play. The group can only afford to pay the actors for four days of rehearsal, instead of four week. But, not a problem, the group is producing the same play they always do at Christmas – A Christmas Carol. They are using most of the same actors they always use year after year (including the same big kid that’s been playing Tiny Tim for way to many years). This is the 14^th season that the Community Play has utilized the Oster Theater. During this time, the Cedar Falls Community Theater has seen their annual budget grow from $130,000 to $280,000. The Theater continues to try and attract a variety of talent and shows for the community to enjoy.
