IT’S ONLY A PLAY
Beavercreek Community Theatre
Aug. 27-Sept. 5
[Beavercreek]
Directed by Debra Kent
Cast: Jim Walker as James Wicker, Melissa Ertsgaard as Julia Budder, Matt Lindsay as Peter Austin, Lynn Vanderpool as Virginia Noyes, Brandon Shockney as Frank Finger, Saul Caplan as Ira Drew & Titus Unger as Gus P. Head
It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and the playwright’s best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and for comedy. But don’t worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.

Beavercreek Community Theatre is pleased to announce the cast of our opening production of Season 2021-2022, IT’S ONLY A PLAY.
The 2021-2022 Season includes:
After much discussion and consideration the board of directors of BCT has made the difficult decision to cancel the rest of its 2020-2021 season.
Once again, BCT must announce that due to the current COVID situation, we must cancel our youth production of A WINNIE THE POOH CHRISTMAS TAIL. While things are beginning to open up, we feel we must keep the health and best interest of our performers and patrons the top priority, and to move forward with this production would not do that.
