A Season of Courage

The 2005-06 JJC Theatre Season presents performances which examine the courage necessary to meet some of life's challenges.

Thanks to all who auditioned! You gave us some tough choices. As always we were not able to use everyone who auditioned well, and we encourage all of you to return to future auditions.

Again, many thanks!
