Tehachapi Community Theatre will be holding open auditions Laddy Sartin’s poignant comedy Catfish Moon, directed by Kenny Chugg. This will be Mr. Chugg’s first time in TCT’s director, though he has years of previous experience with other community theatres before moving to Tehachapi.

The old fishing pier out on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon. It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids; skipping school, skinny dipping, and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls. Now Curley, Gordon, and Frog are older, and they have tasted the bitterness of life as well as the sweetness, and the pressures and problems that come with middle age have eroded the closeness between Frog and Gordon. The final straw comes when Frog discovers that Gordon is dating his ex-wife. Curley, the "big brother" of the bunch, in an attempt to recapture the friendship and settle all disputes, convinces Frog and Gordon to go on an overnight fishing trip like old times. On the pier, the weight of adulthood is lifted by laughter and their love of fishing, and the three guys discover that their friendship was never really lost.

"…full of the most bodacious joviality…the ending is pure delight, comic writing as sweet as it comes."

—Charlotte Observer

Auditions will be held at TCT Studio Theatre located at 48771 Valley Blvd. (TAPA Dance Studio) on Saturday February 24 at 2:00 pm and on Tuesday February 27 at 6:30 pm. Performances are scheduled for May 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26 2007. Mr. Chugg is looking for three men 40 - 50 years of age to play best friends from childhood, Curly, Frog, and Gordon. In this manly mix there is a part for one woman age 35 - 45.
