Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband kicks off Cascades Theatrical Comany’s (CTC) 37th season with three weekends of performances beginning Friday September 18 and closing Saturday October 3.

Bathed in Wilde’s famous wit, rapid-fire repartee and social commentary, An Ideal Husband satirizes British aristocracy with its story of scandal, blackmail and corruption.

Evening performances begin at 7:30pm. This includes two Thursday shows. There are two Sunday matinees that begin at 2pm.

There is usually a need for volunteers to help building and/or painting sets, be part of the running crew, or to work the front of the house during performances. There is also frequent need for donated or loaned costumes, furniture or props. Anyone interested in volunteering in any way at CTC is encouraged to contact Janis: janis@cascadestheatrical.org.

CTC is located in downtown Bend at 148 NW Greenwood Ave. This season will have six Main Stage productions, as well as two Black Box shows and two All Aspects Teen Theatre productions. Visit www.cascadestheatrical.org or request a CTC season brochure from the box office, or find one on display at partner locations around town for a comprehensive view of CTC’s schedule.

Auditions for the musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, will be held at CTC Monday and Tuesday, September 21 and 22. See the Call to Artists section of this publication for more information.

In addition to productions, CTC also hosts the improvisational group, Triage. This month they will have two shows on Friday September 4. A family-friendly one begins at 7pm. A second show, for mature audiences, will be presented at 9pm.
