EPC Sanctuary
This is your last chance to attend one of our parent/student drama informational meetings. Everyone is invited to attend. Come to learn more about the program, ask questions, and learn about some new opportunities this year!

PARENT MEETINGS

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4th 12:45 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
EPC Sanctuary
Parents are encouraged to attend and students are welcome.
The two time slots are to insure everyone has a chance to attend. We have not had a formal parent meeting in a couple of years, but feel the need to reinstate the practice, due to some new policies and opportunities. We want to boost elementary involvement, since The King and I has such a large number of small children roles. Please encourage families with younger Eastwood students to see what the play program is all about!

The 2010 Play is ....

THE KING AND I
Yes, that's right. We are "starting over," going back to the first play we attempted as The Eastwood Players. We hope you are as excited as we are about getting to do this play again and "do it up right"! The students did a magnificent job way back in 2004, but David and I have learned ALOT in the past 6 years. Here is a little recap of The Eastwood Players' selections:
2004 The King and I
2005 Fiddler On the Roof
2006 The Music Man
2007 The Sound of Music
2008 Annie
2009 Meet Me In St. Louis

Now don't think that just because we made our selections in a certain order the first time around, that we will again. We have every intention of mixing it up a little over the next 6 years and who's to say that we won't throw in a new play here and there along the way. So for those of you who may be a little down that we are starting over, don't rule out the possibility of a new show in the future!
For those of you who may be wondering why we feel the need to "start over" at all, let me explain. In an effort to have your children performing only the highest quality shows for kids K-12, we have spent countless hours pouring over scripts (praying through each one), picking the very best classics to share with your children. We feel we have come to an end of the more obvious selections and are pleased. We can now focus our efforts on making these the best plays we can. If we happen to come across another play in the future or we see that another "great one" is possible to produce, we will add it to the repertoire.
We hope you can get on board with us and enjoy EVERY second of this year's musical production!
Stay tuned for further details, meeting times, and more!
