Trego's Mountain Ear

The ‘Belle of the Ball’ wasn’t the first performance of the year, but it was the first of the three plays that the players will perform this year. Earlier this year, the players put on a series of one-act plays written by local authors and a choir concert. It’s already time for auditions for the next play, which will take place the weekend of the Quilt Show.

This year’s seasonal program began with a letter from Eureka Community Players’ President, John LaBonte. In it, John announced that this will be his last year as President of the Players, though he will continue to remain involved with the theater. One of the difficulties that the Players’ are facing is finding volunteers for the off-stage positions that make everything possible. He provided a list of volunteer roles that the players are looking to fill. Anyone interested in helping out with makeup, set building, costumes, props, or lighting should contact the Eureka Community Players.

Belle of the Ball was excellent, very interactive, and with excellent audiences each day of the performance. The scene of the Ball was a toddler favorite, and Remi has learned to clap at the end of performances.
