1 music director, 2 different musicals, both open this weekend | On Stage in Butte County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two musicals are opening in Chico this week — a Kander and Ebb classic at Chico Theater Company and a pop/rock contemporary musical by Ryan Scott Oliver at Chico State. On the surface, these two productions, “Cabaret” and “35mm: A Musical Exhibition,” don’t seem to have much in common, but they share one extremely important thing — the same music director. It’s unusual for a music director to have two different shows opening the same weekend, but Dara Scholz — a lecturer for over 15 years in the
Next up at TOTR: Y2K fever dream dark comedy, ‘I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire’ | On Stage in Butte County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Theatre on the Ridge does it again with its latest production — “I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire”. The theater, located in Paradise on Neal Road, is known for its unexpected and not-so-mainstream productions. They put on the sort of plays and musicals no one else is doing. The theater company’s next play, opening Thursday, exemplifies this premise. “I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire” by Samantha Hurley is a dark comedy about a 14-year-old girl who kidnaps film actor Tobey Maguire.

It has many of the silly, familiar scenes from the original source material, including the unexpected coconuts and the Knights that say “Ni!”. The CTC production was directed by Michael Golden, assistant directed
‘Tartuffe’ puts the community in community theater | On Stage in Butte County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A play with a funny name, and an even funnier cast, is playing this week at the Chico Women’s Club. “Tartuffe,” a theatrical comedy by Molière, presented by Third Eye Theater Company, will run for just two days — Thursday and Friday. Third Eye Theater Company was established this summer by Kristian Power. For its inaugural production, the company has chosen a Charles Edward Pogue adaptation of “Tartuffe.” The Pogue adaptation makes the language of the play more palatable to modern audiences. The
Pop-up theater production of ‘RENT’ to run for one night only | On Stage in Butte County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something exciting is happening this week in local theater. Paper Moon Playhouse, an independent theater company founded and run by young adults, is presenting the musical “RENT” for one night only, after rehearsing the production for less than a month. This style of theater is sometimes called “pop-up theater.” A theater company without a permanent address produces productions in short timeframes, with short runs, but nonetheless creates meaningful theater. Some “pop-up theater” is presented in
