Where Stories Come to Life

Experience the Magic of Live Theater at Salida Theater Project

October Show!

The Minutes

Everything is on the record. Until it isn’t.

Written by Tracy Letts
Directed by Liz Dunn

October 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, and 17
A Church, 419 D Street, Salida

This razor-sharp comedy invites you behind the closed doors of a routine city council meeting that is anything but ordinary. When a new council member returns to the chambers to find a colleague missing and the official record of the last meeting suspiciously absent, finding out the truth is met with the ultimate political weapons: red tape, eccentric excuses, and bureaucratic nonsense.

From petty squabbles over local festivals to the high-stakes drama of parking permits, it’s a hilarious and biting look at the people who run our world and the secrets they try to keep "off the record."

If you think you knew what a city council meeting is like, you’ve never been to a Big Cherry council meeting. Pull up a chair and join the session. It’s just another night of small-town politics… or is it?

Cast: Louie Cohn, Justin Critelli, JJ Fraser, Eden Giorno, Devon Jencks, Leslie Matthews, Jean Moloney, Peter Mossman, Bill Rogers, Greg West, and Tom Westrup
