Last Week . . .

Julie James, Artistic Director of the Jewel Theatre Company (JTC). JTC is the only year-round professional theatre company in Santa Cruz County and prides itself on bringing you quality, professional actors performing in both familiar favorites and lesser known plays, by first-rate playwrights.
 
The upcoming season will be the company's last regular season, their 20th. Five plays are on the schedule starting in October. They are Rough Crossing, Who's Got Me, The Lion in Winter, Under Ben Bulben, and Always...Patsy Cline. All the performances are at The Colligan Theater at the Tannery Arts Center. For more information about the Jewel Theatre Company and this season's plays click here.
