	The Pitmen Painters - West Coast Premiere Presented by TheatreWorks at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts January 18-February 12, 2012 From the writer of the mega-hit film and musical Billy Elliot comes another absorbing London/Broadway success! A funny play that asks big questions, it tells the rousing, true story of a hardscrabble group of 1930's miners who take up painting and become sensations of the British art world. Their exhilarating journey from pit to pinnacle overflows with spirit and laughter, as rich and intriguing as the art it unveils.   The Pitmen Painters - West Coast Premiere Presented by TheatreWorks at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts January 18-February 12, 2012 Event Rating (0 votes)	(1 attending)
	Now Circa Then - West Coast Premiere Presented by TheatreWorks at Lucie Stern Community Theatre and Center March 7-April 1, 2012 In this delightfully quirky comedy, two mismatched historical re-enactors play an immigrant couple from the 1890's at New York’s famed Tenement Museum. Opposites attract, romance blooms and, with hilarious results, each tumultuous turn of their private lives is reflected in their public reenactments. As their on and offstage personas intertwine, they soon discover the perils of living too long in the past. Advisory: Contains mature language.

	Of Mice and Men Presented by TheatreWorks at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts April 4-April 19, 2012 Crafted for the stage by John Steinbeck himself, this beloved drama is a deeply moving tribute to the strength of friendship and the depth of the American dream. Protective George and his gentle giant of a friend Lennie are migrant workers on a Salinas Valley ranch during the Great Depression. Their hopes for a place of their own come close to fruition, but fate intervenes in a powerhouse saga of conscience and character.

  I have been reading Daddy Long Legs since I was about 14, and gave it to my daughter and my nieces to read. The play sticks to the book in content, and most importantly, in spirit - I was a bit reluctant to see the play at first, specially after the bastardization by the Fred Astair movie! - but I am so glad that I did go! The singing is very good, both "Jerusha" and "Jarvis" have great voices, and their combination is fantastic. I hope that this play gets national! Collapse

  The actors were 'spot on' in this unique piece, and the one set was flexible enough, and the direction was imaginative, and creative, using the luggage to take us from one place to another. The music however was on ONE LEVEL which made this piece seem longer than it was. Although the music during this period was similiar in style, added instrumentation would have given the audience variety and the actors more to play with. Is it worth seeing....YES. Robt. Kelly always gives us things to contemplate, imagine, and creativity for us to enjoy, and we are lucky to have him in this area. Support TheaterWorks as it is worth having them in our backyard.
