WCLOC Theater Company may be Worcester’s oldest active theater company, but “We’re always looking at themes relevant to society today,” said board member and actor and director Eric Butler. h “Making sure the plays we do and musicals refl ect the community we live in.” h WCLOC has also had “a lot of conversations about equity, inclusiveness and commitment to diversity,” he said. h Eleanor Burgess’ play “The Niceties,” which WCLOC will be staging for four in-person performances June 18-20 at the BrickBox Theater at the JMAC as well as online, begins with a pleasant enough conversation.
