A Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorite stories, and it sounds like Good Company Players has put a brand new twist on it! Because one of our own, Terrance McArthur, is in this show we weren’t able to manage a review, however, we did chat with the show’s director Elizabeth Fiester, and it sounds like a show you won’t want to miss! A Christmas Carol will be on stage at 2nd Space in Fresno through December 23.
Reedley’s very own theatre company, River City Theatre Co.(RCTC), has seen a lot of changes over the last few years. Recently, they hired local actor Peter Allwine as their new General Manager. KRL thought it would be interesting to get to know some of the current RCTC board members a little better—many are also local actors themselves who had been on the RCTC stage many times over the years. We are starting off with Stevie Barnett, who is their current board secretary.
This week we have an interview with local author and former Reedley College Instructor David Borofka and information on his upcoming book event at Book Barn in Clovis.
