SUMMARY:Easter Cantata
DESCRIPTION:It is the time of year for Sturgis-area singers to prepare for the 17th performance of its annual Easter Cantata. The choir began weekly rehearsals in February in preparation for the two upcoming performances\, one on Palm Sunday\, March 29th\, and the second on Tuesday\, March 31st\, at 7:00 pm both evenings at Grace Lutheran Church\, 1061 Sherman Street in Sturgis\, \nThis year’s cantata\, Upon This Rock\, composed by Pepper Choplin\, is told in the voice of Peter\, Jesus’ disciple. As the narration about Peter unfolds\, it is evident that he was a passionate person. This works leads the listener through his experience with Christ. As the story unfolds through Peter’s eyes\, the audience is led to ask\, “What is our passion? What is our call? Who do we live for?” \nCome experience the Easter message sung by the 64-voice choir conducted by Marlene Kotab with a portrayal of Peter by Randy Bender. Embrace the message of Upon this Rock. There is no admission charge\, but your free-will offerings are always appreciated to help cover expenses.

SUMMARY:AUDITIONS: The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:March 30th & 31st @ 5:30pm\nStep into the spotlight and be part of our vibrant arts community in The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. A trivial comedy for serious people.\nNo experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). Auditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work\, set building\, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors. \nThe Importance of Being Earnest – Directed by Melita Quinonez \nThe Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a sparkling comedy of manners that follows two young gentlemen\, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff\, who invent alter egos to escape social obligations and pursue romance.

Algernon\, equally mischievous\, adopts the name Ernest himself to charm Jack’s ward\, Cecily.\nAs their double lives collide\, misunderstandings multiply\, engagements are tested\, and the formidable Lady Bracknell lays down the law. Through sharp wit and absurd twists\, Wilde satirizes Victorian society\, marriage\, and the pursuit of respectability. Proving that sometimes the truth is far less important than being “Ernest.”\nPerformance Dates\nMay 14\, 15\, 16\, 17\nThursday – Saturday • 7:00 pm\nSunday • 2:00 pm\nAvailable Roles\nJack Worthing (Ernest): Age 25–35\, A respectable gentleman who leads a double life: a responsible guardian in the country and “Ernest” in the city.\nAlgernon Moncrieff (Algy: Age 25–35\, Jack’s friend and a witty bachelor who delights in flouting social conventions.\nRev.
