Synopsis: ​Orcutt Community Theater presents Vintage Hitchcock, a live radio play, in which spies, murder, love, and other trademarks of Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of a 1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense’s earlier films. With The Lodger, Sabotage and The 39 Steps, Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play is a triple feature, complete with vintage commercials, that recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer’s ominous presence, and a devastating explosion through the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring.

Synopsis: “Into the Woods” is an elaborate musical, making this an ambitious production for the fledgling company.
The score was written by musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim, known for his complex melodies, harmonies and rhyming schemes. He and librettist James Lapine also collaborated on the musicals “Sunday in the Park with George” and “Passion.”
“Into the Woods” combines the stories of “Cinderella,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Rapunzel.” Tying them all together is an original tale about a baker and his wife who long to have a child. “The witch from next door” drops by, revealing that their childlessness is the result of a curse she placed on their house. If they wish to have “the curse reversed,” they'll have to venture into the woods and collect an item each of the other fairy-tale heroes. A lot of the show's fun comes from seeing all these characters from different stories bump into each other.
