This EPHS "Spring Showcase" Theater Package is scheduled for the last Thursday thru Saturday in April 2012. It includes four (4) passes to the EPHS "Spring Showcase" (you must call ahead to reserve the date & time), a back stage tour, seating in the sound booth (must be quiet), and watching the dress rehearsal to get an "up close and personal" feel of how a show develops and goes into production.

This year's Spring Showcase, directed by Deb Karulf, is a melodrama called "Life and Death of Sneeky Fitch":

To the ambitious little town of Gopher Gulch, Sneaky Fitch is an abrasive disgrace -- a no-good, drunken, brawling nuisance. When he falls ill there is a sigh of relief, and when he apparently dies (thanks to some suspicious "medicine" administered by the departing Doc Burch) there are few tears. But when Sneaky rises from his coffin the picture changes, for no one dares confront a man who has come back from the dead. Capitalizing on his "invincibility" Sneaky soon takes over as sheriff, mayor and town banker -- not to mention being the man who faces down Rackham, the fastest gun in the West. In short, where he was formerly unbearable he is now insufferable. But mortality (thanks to the reappearance of Doc Burch) suddenly returns, and once the truth is out it's curtains for Sneaky -- this time for keeps -- and all ends as boisterously and happily as you might wish.
