Fall Play: The Three Musketeers, by Max Bush - November 18-20, 7:30 p.m. in the PAC

Winter Play: Don't Drink the Water, by Woody Allen - January 13-15, 7:30 p.m. in the Little Auditorium.
A cascade of comedy and a solid hit on Broadway, this farce takes place inside an American Embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and illegal picture taking. The Ambassador is absent, so his son tries to plot their escape, and even has a little time for romance with the tourist's daughter.
One-Act Play: Small Actors, by Stephen Gregg - RESCHEDULED to February 11, 7:30 p.m. in the PAC
Emily desperately wants to play Juliet in her high school's production of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, she gets a one-line, four word role. When she tells her parents that she has the lead, things spin way out of control in this funny and touching play about the roles we play in theatre and in life. This one act play will be EGRHS's submission in the MIFA state-wide theatre festival. The February 3rd date is our public performance for the community. Districts will be Jan 29th and Regionals February 12th at GR Christian HS.
