You Must Pay to Pee

Posted on April 1, 2016 by | Comments Off on You Must Pay to Pee

Due to a serious water shortage, all residents of the Boston metropolitan area must now use only public amenities to pee.  To reduce the serious burden on our water supply, a fee is charged for each use.  Please be sure to have your money ready before entering the amenity.

Starting today, the fees are going up.  All residents must now pay the increased fee.  No exceptions are allowed.  The fee hikes were approved yesterday by the Massachusetts House and Senate and signed into law by the Governor.

Your cooperation is required.  Remember, it is a privilege to pee.  Those who are caught peeing outside of the public amenities will be arrested and sent off to Urinetown.

TCS mourns the passing of Francis T. Brennan on February 11, 2016.  This young but very intense and talented actor appeared as Macduff in our May 2014 production of Macbeth by William Shakespeare.  He went with us to the EMACT Festival in June 2014, where Macbeth won the award for Risk Taking.

Prior to that he appeared with a number of other TCS members as Steve in the Psych Drama Company production of A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, presented in Rhode Island in February 2014.

New Location for TCS

Posted on January 7, 2016 by | Comments Off on New Location for TCS

As of February 2016, rehearsals for the Theatre Company of Saugus will be at the Laurel Gardens Community Room, at 2 Rice Street.  This is the one-story building, not the Laurel Towers which is also marked 2 Rice Street.

The venue for performances for our March 2016 production of The Laramie Project will be Saugus High School, in the Black Box Theater room C09.  Many thanks to Steve and the SHS Drama Club for hosting us!

For both locations, see our Directions page.

Both of these locations are temporary.  TCS is in need of a new home.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, or know somebody who knows somebody, please contact us ASAP, at TCSaugus@gmail.com.  We would prefer to be in Saugus, and are limited in how much rent we can pay.

We were formerly housed at the East Saugus United Methodist Church.  They declined to renew our lease beyond December 2015, because they say they would prefer to use their space to house other church groups.
