St. Peter's Episcopal Church ONE BODY, ONE MISSION, CHANGING LIVE
St. Peter's Players Music Man - the cast
THE
PLAYERS’ MINISTRY
In October 2000, auditions were held for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever with the dream of beginning a new chancel drama program at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. With some skepticism as to what it was all about and as to the commitment involved, a cast was assembled and rehearsals began. The play, with over 20 actors and 3 spotlight operators, was presented in early December with two performances. After the production, the church was in a buzz as to “how wonderful the play was” and “it was so professional” and “when is the next one!!!” St. Peter’s Player’s was born!! The Players followed their opening act with a spring fundraiser entitled Snapshots from Life. a montage of short scenes from several classic plays, including moments from Hamlet, Death of a Salesman, The Wizard of Oz and Phantom of the Opera. Under the backdrop of the tragedies of September 11, 2001, the St. Peter’s Players presented Thornton Wilder’s American classic Our Town. Following a Shrove Tuesday improvisational game show Who Wants to Go To Heaven?), the Players returned in the Spring of 2002 with two one-act plays. The first was Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins. The second was a one-act play written by Parishioner Michael Wagoner entitled The Revelation of Mr. Jenkins. These short performances paved the way for the Players’ first venture into musical theatre: the Stephen Schwartz extravaganza GODSPELL. The show packed the church three nights in a row, including several bishops from the diocese. After a second improvisational appearance on Shrove Tuesday (Laughter on Demand) and a One-Act drama for Maundy Thursday (The State versus Jesus Christ), the Players concluded their 2002-2003 season with Snapshots from Broadway — a montage of the Players’ own favorite songs from some of Broadway’s biggest hits. The Players began their fourth season of ministry with an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women. The drama follows the lives of four sisters growing up in Civil-War New England and the true meaning of family through laughter, through love, and through tears. The Players presented the Palm Sunday Passion, and finished the fourth season with another musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Joseph played for six nights to a packed house. Season five included The Christmas Story, a Shrove Tuesday event, the Passion, The Fantastiks, Pollyanna, an an original play by our own award winning author, Melinda Long, entitled The Least of These. Season Six includes Snapshots From Comedy and Arthur Miller's The Crucible. The St. Peter’s Players have brought children and adults together in fellowship and purpose. We would like to thank our priest Father Eric for his overwhelming support and fantastic pictures documenting our growth. With this production, we hope the greater community will be brought into our church family for a meaningful evening and perhaps a newfound home.
