It is good to come back to farce after so many years as
it is one of my favorite styles of theatre. I grew up with it, loved
performing it, and was always intrigued by how it affects audiences. Why is it so important? Why is absurdist wit, slapstick,
and humor requested and accepted by audiences? Furthermore, why do we as artists respect the world of comedy and
farce?

It all begins when we are children.

I think there is no greater expression than a smile,
especially when it is accompanied by laughter. Its comforting
and its contagious. It not only affects the person laughing but those watching and hearing
them. Maybe it even starts when we are still the mothers womb. Its felt and it affects the
body in many ways ALL positive. Scientifically, it is associated with comfort and joy due
to the chemical reactions our body produces. Is this what is often referred to as a sense
of humor? It is one of the first emotions expressed and more importantly shared between
parent and child.
In his book, Peter Pan J.M. Barrie writes, when a baby laughed for the first time
its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and thats what created fairies. Maybe it is even fair
to say that laughter is magical

With all the gloom and doom in the world, it can be hard to find a good laugh. We
tend to take on drama as a part of life. As we get older, I often wonder if we lose some of
that magical sense of humor in life. I do know this: at the darkest moments in life, an unexpected laugh is when the healing begins. Finding the funny in life is nothing less than
a gift from God. I have witnessed laughter resolve problems, stop violence, comfort, and
yes, even heal.

As artists, we respect comedys power. A farce can be one of the strongest forms of
comedy. Its absurd and zany, but mostly because its just fun! We hope you enjoy the show
as much as we enjoy performing it for you. Thank you for sharing your joy with us. Live,
love and LAUGH!
Sincerely Yours,



J.J.

Hello friends,

Johnson City Community Theatres 2014 season is almost
over and the plans for our 103rd season are on the move!

This process wouldnt be possible without you the audience.
Without your support we would play to empty seats! There are many
ways to get involved and show your support, too. We are patiently
and thoughtfully working through some tough decisions on the
business front, but the board is most definitely moving forward to
bring in new ideas for our upcoming productions. This upcoming season will have some
new things to offer with the goal of reaching out to the different members of our community there should always be something for everyone! We also are always accepting
suggestions for shows you would like to see!

As always, this theatre would not exist with you. As a theatre, we want to find ways
to reach out, and better the community. In this regard, we would love your input and
feedback. In addition, we would be thrilled if you would join us for our monthly meetings.
We meet on the second Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m. (you can find updated meeting
schedules on our website too), and we are always interested in hearing your opinions and
thoughts on how we can better serve this area. Likewise, if you are more interested in the
hands-on approach, we are more than happy to find some things in those areas as well.
Our productions need people who are interested in learning the behind the scenes part
of the theatre; without our tech volunteers, our shows would have no lights or sound. If
you have a knack for building, we generally have a minimum of 6 shows that need sets
built and/or designed. Perhaps you are really good at organizing things; if thats the case, I
can assure you that there are at least a dozen projects I could introduce you to that could
use your magic touch!

Help us better serve the community and our patrons; help us rebuild JCCT with
the dream of shining a spotlight on the arts in East Tennessee. Come and talk to us about
the ways you can get involved!

Together we are JCCT - your community theatre.

Our Story

Johnson City was 14 years old when its first theatre group was formed in 1855.
Preachers at the Methodist churches in town took to their pulpits, promising hellfire and
damnation to anyone who darkeend a playhouse door. The play was Queen Esther and the
Baptist Church offered the newly formed group a venue.

A little more than half-century later, in 1912, Johnson Citys theatre group began
performing at least three shows a year. The organization continues to this day, making JCCT
the oldest continuously running theatre in Tennessee, and one of the oldest in the country.
The group, then known as the Johnson City Dramatic Society, put on its first production An
American Girl, at the VA Memorial Theatre in the summer of 1912.

Those early years for the theater were nomadic. in addition to the VA Memorial
Theater at Mountain Home, plays were performed at the country club, St. Johns Episcopal
Church, old North Jr. High, and Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church. The guild
players continued to perform without a place to call their own until 1956, when they found
a permanent home at the former Temple Baptist Church at 600 E. Maple St, where the theatre is currently located. The first production mounted at the Maple St. location was The
Curious Savage, directed by Darryl Frank, wife of Bud Frank.

With 129 years of history and 102 consecutive seasons, JCCT is looking toward the
future as Johnson Citys own theatre committed to artistic excellence and quality entertainment. Our legacy is a record unmatched in the state of Tennessee and surpassed only by
four other theatrical organizations in the southern U.S., and eight nationally.

If you have old photos, playbills, or newspaper clippings of JCCT we would love
them to our files!
