Local church to perform ‘The Choir’
Special to The Monitor
EUSTACE–For the fourth year, Parable, the youth creative arts
team of First Baptist Church in Eustace, will present their 2011
Winter Dinner Theatre.
This year, under the direction of David Mercer (youth minister),
the team will present a comedy by Ramsey Yelvington entitled The
Choir.
Billed as “a comedy of epic theatrics,” the play is set in the
late 50s/early 60s and focuses on the thoughts and actions of a
church choir during the service time.
Characters and actors include Harmony Allen, Tyler Stokes,
Stephen Ashton, Allison Bradbury, Tanner Sparks, Makenzie
Abbott, Grace Holcombe, Alex Parrott, Nathan Taft, Timothy
Gassman, Michael Yates, Reba Bailey, Melody Allen, Greg
Weatherford, Hannah Foster, and Brandon Hall. Kara Zimmerer and
Holly Bradbury serve as hair and make-up technicians. All of the
cast are students at Eustace Senior and Junior High Schools.
Mercer, who begins his fifth year of service at First Baptist
Church in Eustace, takes a departure from the series of very
serious plays that have been produced by the group as he adds
this comedy to the roster.
“A comedy can be more difficult to produce than a serious drama
because it challenges your actors to try and find a character
and to make that character funny through timing and very
physical acting,” Mercer said. “I think people will enjoy being
able to laugh at themselves and some of the flawed behaviors we
have, even as Christians.”
He continued, “But in the end, the irony of The Minister’s
challenge to the choir brings home the point that often our
focus is not on what it needs to be centered on.”
The characters in the play will be waiting tables, serving food,
interacting with the audience and providing entertainment prior
to the play. Audiences will enjoy the entire evening and it’s
really geared to family entertainment.
The dates for the presentation of The Choir are 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 26, through Sunday, Jan. 30. The play is held in
the Upper Room of the Family Life Center at First Baptist Church
in Eustace.
Tickets are presently on sale now at the church office for $10
each. Ticket prices include a meal, entertainment and the play.
Proceeds from the Winter Dinner Theatre go to help underwrite
the costs of the youth groups missions trip to New Orleans, La.,
and Elizabethtown, Tenn., to work with children in the
Appalachian mountains.
For more information please call (903) 425-2261. There is
limited seating for each night’s performance.
