A fast, funny, painfully relatable rom-com about two people who might just be perfect for each other – if they can ever get over their past.

Choir Boy might best be described as a play with music.  There are multiple songs throughout the show.  The members of the student choir have remarkable harmony together.  The vocals were lush.  To be honest, the singing in this production was as good or better than some of the recent Ephrata musicals. Kudos to vocal director, Jeanette Wehye.

ROCK OF AGES is mostly cheese. It’s a jukebox musical packed with big-hair 80s hits that refuses to take itself seriously. Rachel Cahoon portrays “Sister” Sherrie Christian, a small-town kid with Hollywood dreams, with expressiveness and powerhouse vocals.
