Thank you to all who auditioned. We saw many strong auditions, and we wish we had places for all of you!

Ever wondered what happened to Wendy and the Lost Boys after they returned from Peter Pan and the rest of Neverland? In Lost Girl, playwright Kimberly Belflower sets out to answer this burning question. With the eight weeks we’ve had to craft this beautifully poignant play about growing up and letting go, this team of young artists has explored the reality of these infamous characters. What drives them to live now that the fantasy has been stripped away? Infusing memory, light, music, a larger-than-life Nursery setting, and the power of a unified ensemble, we hope to bring our audiences a show that speaks to what lies at the core of all of us: Who determines our fate, and if it is us, what does that mean?

Thursday, February 1st, Friday, February 2nd & Saturday, February 3rd at 7:00pm in the EPHS Auditorium. Student/senior citizen tickets are $5 and adult tickets are $7. Tickets can be found here: https://gofan.co/app/school/MN9765?activity=Performing%20Arts Seating is not reserved, but there is no extra charge for purchasing online, so we encourage you to get your tickets ahead of time

The narrator of a story dutifully chronicles the meeting of a couple in a small cafe in Paris, France, only to start losing control of her characters once they realize she exists. Blending the lines between fiction and truth, this hilarious play examines what should triumph: reality, or a good story.

The One-Act performs Thursday, January 25th & Friday, January 26th both at 7pm in the EPHS Performing Arts Center. Admission is free but donations will assist will the cost of the bus to competition!

We hope to see you there to support the cast and tech before sub-sections this weekend!
