Greetings once again from TCT. It’s taken me a long time to get back to my blog, but as I re-read my last posting, something I sure everyone does, I thought . . . gee, that’s kinda’ boring.

Since I plan on using this space as a forum to answer my most common questions, I thought I start off by answering one I’m getting almost daily. It concerns our upcoming production of Cabaret. The question is; “Which Cabaret are you doing?” (more…)
