ECHS Theatre Team

And another year closes. Like the years before, this year has been full of joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, lessons and discoveries. We say happy trails to our seniors and begin gearing up for next year. However, this year was both extra special and especially bittersweet. Not only did we say farewell to our graduates, we also will be saying “See ya later” to our director, Mr. Hilton. He is “retiring” this year (though he claims he’s already retired twice, so he can’t do it a third time). Though we are sad to see him go, we are excited and joyous to welcome Mrs. Jordan Davis as ECHS Theatre Team’s new director! So, to the seniors, don’t be strangers; the stage will always welcome you home. To Mr. Hilton, enjoy your well-earned rest (though we know it won’t be long before you come by to “volunteer” with us). To Mrs. Davis, welcome home. It only gets crazier from here.

Our fifth annual Ten-Minute Play Festival is TOMORROW, May 9, at 7PM in the ECHS Blackbox Theatre! Each show was written and directed by students. Entry is FREE, so come on out and support these kids! See you there!

It’s audition time again!

Come audition for our Winter Show: Seeking Asylum.

Auditions will be Oct. 14-16, from 4:30-6:30 each day, on the ECHS Stage.

Synopsis: Mark is in the insane asylum—and he loves it! He gets tons of attention, makes great friends, and always has lots to do. The only problem is his wife, Renee...she’s in the real world, and is sick of Mark getting so much attention, so she takes the only logical step—she tries to have herself admitted, too. Here’s a world where one set of delusions is cured by another; where real life and infomercial join together for a skewed sense of reality (and product endorsement); where a character’s crazy ramblings make more sense than the folks who live in the “sane” universe. Seeking Asylum is a fast-paced romp between imagination and reality, between laughter and tears, and in its own way, tells a moving story on the values of love, friendship, truth, and honesty.e

Join us for the Theatre Team Bonding Night on Saturday, August 30, from 4-9 PM, in the ECHS cafeteria. Wear your comfiest (school appropriate!) PJs, bring a cozy blanket or camp chair, and get ready for a movie, games, pizza, and more! Current members and alumni are welcome to attend.
