The City of
Tehachapi and Tehachapi
Community Theatre announce the ribbon cutting
ceremony and dedication of the newly-completed recreation of the BeeKay
Theatre, on Saturday Dec 6 at 10 am, 110 S. Green St. The general public is
invited to participate in the ceremony and visit the theatre throughout the day.
The ribbon cutting ceremony
will be followed by a tour of the theatre and refreshments, and City Council and
TCT Board Members will then be asked to participate in driving the first nail
into the stage floor, symbolizing the rebirth of the BeeKay as a working live
theatre, according to TCT President Karl Schuck.
This reincarnation of the
BeeKay is entirely new, built from scratch behind the original façade, which is
the only portion of the first BeeKay still standing. Architect Kevin Haub
designed the building, with Boyle Engineering
supervising the structural elements in consultation with Tehachapi City Manager
Greg Garrett, the City’s chief building
inspector Jon Hasselbrink and TCT’s building committee led by Doug Jockinsen.
The interior décor is by TCT Board member David Reed.
Starting at 11:00 am will be
TCT’s Holiday Sneak Peek, featuring local performing groups in an all-new show
every 45 minutes throughout the day. This is in conjunction with the City’s Old
Tyme Christmas Celebration. Folks downtown to enjoy the day and bid on the
Christmas trees can step into the theatre to
catch any of the shows during the day.
The performance schedule is as
follows: at 11:00 am, Tehachapi Academy of Performing Arts dancers; 11:45
Perfect 10 Gymnasts and cheerleaders, 12:30 t.b.a.; 1:15 t.b.a. 2:00 Tehachapi
High School Show Choir and Chorus; 2:45 Dancers from Tehachapi Dance Theatre,
3:15 Lee’s House of Music Student Recitals.
