North Coast Repertory Theatre

An intimate evening with Ted Leitner, the legendary broadcasting voice of the San Diego Padres, Aztecs, Channel 8 Sports, KFMB-AM Radio and more: up-close, un-filtered, and un-scripted – just like he’s always been. “Uncle Teddy” shares hilarious and moving stories about SD sports legends including Tony Gwynn, Jerry Coleman, Junior Seau, Trevor Hoffman, Bill Walton and Ted Williams as he reflects on a 4-decades long career. Controversial, outrageous and hilarious, share the evening with a master-storyteller Ca-Rushing stories from his own life and career from PS 105 in the Bronx to becoming the most riveting sports voice San Diego has ever known. This time, there’s no game clock, no commercial break and apparently no one telling him to wrap it up. Ted pulls back the curtain on a lifetime behind the microphone, sharing stories, experiences, opinions and assorted observations that, for better or worse, could only come from Uncle Teddy. Co-producer Andy Stradberg states "for San Diego sports fans who could never get enough of Ted Leitner—and even for those who occasionally thought they’d had enough—Uncle Teddy is back!”

Ted Talks and Talks at North Coast Repertory Theatre

The Cottage is now EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND! Love, lies, and laughter collide behind closed doors. North Coast Repertory Theatre presents The Cottage, Sandy Rustin’s wickedly funny feminist farce that made its Broadway debut at the Helen Hayes Theater in 2023. Set in the English countryside in 1923, this side-splitting romp finds passion colliding with propriety as one woman’s decision to expose her own affair sends secrets, scandal, and screwball chaos spilling out of every room. As love, marriage, loyalty, and desire are called into question, The Cottage proves that betrayal has never been this much fun.

“Hilarious! You’ll laugh for two hours straight.” — Theatremania
“A sensational side-splitting screwball comedy!” — Entertainment Weekly
“Razor sharp and rip-roaringly fun.” — Around the Town Chicago

Shana Wride directs Josh Cahn* (Richard), Jacob Caltrider* (Clarke), Abby Leigh Huffstetler* (Dierdre), Katie Karel* (Sylvia), Taubert Nadalini* (Beau), and Lauren Weinberg* (Marjorie).

The Cottage EXTENSION at North Coast Repertory Theatre

Los Angeles Times calls Impro Theatre “Amazing! One of the funniest evenings in town, the troupe spins an entire play into comedy gold right before your eyes.”
Starting with an audience suggestion and creating completely improvised, full-length plays in the styles of the world’s greatest writers, Impro Theatre a comic laugh out loud evening of theatre. They have performed all over the country.
A holiday comedy inspired by the works of Charles Dickens. This is a Winter Holiday show built on vivid narration and rich characters inspired by the books of Charles Dickens, all of it improvised. Comic portraits, cruel melodrama and humane charity of heartbreaking tenderness explode onto the teeming streets of Victorian London. Coincidence, redemption and the spirit of Christmas drive the plot – as one might expect from a holiday show with Dickens in the title. In Dickens UnScripted, the entire ensemble shares storytelling duties. As in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s classic production of Nicholas Nickleby, any character can take over the narration at any time. The exciting difference is that no cast member knows in advance who will wind up a street urchin or doting aunt, sailor or jailer, judge or kindly chestnut-seller-who-turns-out-to-be-the-missing-heir-to-a-large-fortune. 
Inventive, surprising theatre where anything can happen is what does happen in Dickens UnScripted. It is a show where keen imaginations steeped in Dickens and Christmas work feverishly to create theatre on the spot. The pace is swift, and the performers are pushed to the peak of their abilities as they attempt to juggle character, plot and staging all at once. Dickens UnScripted is a holiday treat that is never, ever the same story twice and gives fans of A Christmas Carol a whole new way to celebrate the season! 
 
Paul Rogan directs Amy Kidd, Gale Brennan, Leanna Dindal, Mike Rock, Paul Rogan, and Ryan Smith. Produced by Mike Rock, Sound by Tyler Weil, and Lights by Liam Sullivan.
