Willits Community Theatre will celebrate the fall season with great beer, food, desserts and entertainment during its fourth annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 4.
"Every year has been a sellout and this year will certainly be the same, says WCT producer Stephanie Chatten.
"This year is so special you'll be hearing voices three to be exact and it won't be the beer talking. It's Voices 3 with special guests Bill Barksdale, David Lisle and Malakai Schindel."
Voices 3 features the vocal blend of Kate Black, Paula Murphy and Diane Smalley. "After the group came together in 2007, they considered quitting their day jobs and going on the road, but their acupuncture, chiropractic and family medicine clients wouldn't let them," Chatten says. "So they're signed on to entertain in Willits while enjoying one of life's great pleasures: the magic that comes from creating vocal harmonies together."
All three performers grew up with music in their lives. Smalley and Murphy were both raised in Minnesota; Black was reared in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Smalley has a degree in theater and dance, Murphy is a regularly featured actor with WCT, and Black majored in music education and voice in college.
"The songs they choose are varied," Chatten says, "from old tunes by Leadbelly and Sister Rosetta Tharpe all the way to the Wailin' Jennies, Joni Mitchell and Elton John songs that have a spark, wit or challenge
