SHOWTIME AT FIRST BAPTIST
by Ron Osborne,
Director
Jimmy O. Burdette
ECP is proud to announce that it is the first community theatre in the
country (other than Barter Theatre in Virginia) to obtain the rights to
perform the premier of this show! First Baptist of Ivy Gap’s 100th
anniversary picnic was a smashing success, except for one little thing:
the bolt of lightning that struck the church’s steeple, igniting a fire
that destroyed the sanctuary and so much more. In the wake of the
disaster, key women of the church – led by Edith, the pastor’s
unflappable wife – gather in what’s left (the fellowship hall) to
commiserate and try to put things back together. To raise spirits and
funds for rebuilding, the women ultimately plan a festive evening of
entertainment designed to showcase the congregation’s talent. Could it
be that some of Edith’s gang plan a song and dance number that might
shock the congregation? If so, how will they circumvent the authority of
the all-male super-conservative board of deacons, not to mention, one of
their own? Change is in the air as these six diverse women challenge
institutions as well as each other. Along the way, there are laughs to
be shared, battles to be fought, love to be won, relationships to be
mended, and losses to be grieved.
The Crosscreek
Bluegrass Band will be performing a Country Christmas Jamboree
before the show!
