Change of Dates for The Nerd
Because of illness we have had to cancel performances on Thursday 10 and Friday 11 July. Opening night is now Saturday 12 and we have added an extra night on Wednesday 16 July.
Our next production – The Nerd, by Larry Shue opens this week
The production will be in the Muritai School Hall at 7:30pm on July 12, 16, 17, 18, and 19.
Tickets are now available from Humanitix.
Set in the mid-Western, mid-sized city of Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum’s architectural career is ticking along nicely. When he has a surprise phone call and hears that he will finally meet the man (Rick Steadman) who anonymously saved his life in Viet Nam, he is thrilled. His positive outlook quickly turns sour when he discovers that Rick is a hopeless nerd, devoid of any social and emotional intelligence. And when Rick moves in with him without being invited, his life turns upside-down and all he can focus on is how to make him leave, and soon!

Sad news of sudden death of Hayden Rogers
We were completely shocked at the untimely passing of our good friend and troupe member Hayden Rogers in June.
He was in many of our productions – especially in our Bards in the Yard, and many of our comedies. He was a joy to act with and direct and was also a good friend to many of us. He went out of his way to help us out with photography and videos and was our go to publicity photographer.
The BCTT committee are devastated, as many of us have known him for years. We wanted to thank him and his family for all the time he has given to our little theatre troupe, and the difference he made.
We will dedicate the first night of our next production to Hayden’s memory. His voice features in the play and this was therefore the fiftieth production that he featured in – something he wished to achieve before his fiftieth birthday which would have been in December this year.
Our condolences to his family and friends at this sad, sad time. 💔
