💞 You don’t miss our fundraiser (in partnership with MBCC Theatre) this weekend! 💞

Tickets are available for the musical r***e “Crazy For Love”for one of two performances on either Saturday, September 27th at 7pm or Sunday, September 28th at 2pm.

“Crazy For Love” is a captivating musical r***e celebrating treasured love songs throughout the decades presented in four stages: the electric thrill of first sparks, the poignant ache of heartbreak, the transformative power of forgiveness, and the unwavering strength of lasting devotion.

Each carefully curated song acts as a unique window into the myriad of ways we experience love. Every song tells a story. Every heart resonates with its own tale of love.

Supports MBCC Youth Theatre Program and The Aerospace Players. Sponsored by the Arts Council of Torrance.

Each ticket includes an appetizer buffet, 2 drinks and a commemorative glass.

The final performance of “Damn Yankees” was Saturday, July 26th. Saying goodbye is always bittersweet. We had so much fun performing this Tony award winning musical for our community.

A big thanks to our wonderful audiences. You made every show special with your laughter and applause.

Keep an eye on our page for our Summer 2026 production “Shrek” with auditions late March / early April 2026. Performances at the James R Armstrong Theatre are planned for mid-late July 2026.

We would also like to thank our primary sponsors: the Aerospace Employees Association and The Aerospace Corporation. Many thanks as well to the Kentwood Players, Calstate Dominguez Hills, North High School, Trinity Lutheran Church of Hawthorne, Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation, and Manhattan Beach Community Church for their loans of costumes, set pieces, props, facilities and more. It’s an immense pleasure to be able to produce community theater in a time and place with such a strong sense of collaboration and cooperation.

A big shout out to Arts Council of Torrance, Torrance Performing Arts Consortium (TPAC), Torrance Cultural Arts Foundation and the City of Torrance for your support over these many years.

Last, but most assuredly not least, director Chuck Gustafson said it best in the “Damn Yankees” program: “Finally, I’d like to thank the families and friends of the cast and crew -- we owe you a huge debt of gratitude for your patience and support of this production!”

Until the next show!.

The Aerospace Players presents a tale with heart! Miles and miles and miles of Heart! Our audiences loved the first 3 shows of “Damn Yankees” and there are only 3 more shows remaining!

Are you looking to get your Bob Fosse fix? Did you know "Damn Yankees" is one of the Broadway shows he choreographed early in his career? While our choreographer, Rebecca Wade, was guided by her own vision in her choreography for this show, she pays homage to Fosse utilizing elements of his work in numbers such as "Whatever Lola Wants," "Who's Got the Pain" and "Two Lost Souls."

Don't miss this classic, Faustian tale brought to life by our talented cast! Lead actors: Ben Hess plays the devil (Mr. Applegate), Charles Keppler as a young baseball phenom (Joe Hardy) and Lynn Valkov as the devil’s seductress minion (Lola).
