The Comic Thread was in the news again on Monday, March 19th. Our troupe was un-invited from an event called FOCUS on the Arts at Highland Park High School. BJC is proud of all our work and we completely support TCT in its current situation. It is an unfortunate turn of events and we hope this situation will be resolved quickly. In the meantime, the level of quality and care we put into each and every one of our productions, including TCT, will remain unaffected. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

With members from TCT's inagural summer of shows back in 2001, the cast was superb! Click on THEATRE for more info about TCT as well as pictures and videos from some of TCT's past shows.
