Easy Street Theater

        Our spring show is up and running.  Rehearsals are going great.  Actors and buddies (and the director) are having a fantastic time.  It’s just like being back in college again.  In fact, it IS college, at least for our actors.  “Possibility U.” sends our actors through high school graduation, college, college graduation and into a career of their choice.  The script was written by Peter Worth with the help of our actors who submitted their career wishes.  Pete used these career choices to develope the characters that are played by the actors. 

        The audience will see the following careers in the final act of the play:  firefighters, chefs, music producer, day care worker, movie star, policemen, nurse, paramedic, judge, artist, professional bowler, sportswriter, newscaster, beautician, veterinarian, rapper, and restaurant owner.

        ”Possibility U.” is a musical with songs that enhance the excitement of someone eager to go to college and find a successful career.  “I Can’t Wait”, “We Learn”, “Champions”, “Forever Friends”, and “Yakkin’ On The Cell Phone”.  All songs are used with permission by Plank Road Publishing Company.

Go behind the scenes OR on stage of our latest two productions-High Noonish and The Frog Prince-by scrolling through a whole new batch of photos uploaded to our site! “High Noonish”, a modern western (sort of), concluded in April. Take a look at the album and you’ll see just how big a production (and blast) it was. And just recently, the classic fairy tale “The Frog Prince” was adapted by our children’s acting group into a hilarious yet touching performance. Check back here soon for further updates as the 2011 installment of Easy Street Theater gets underway!

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to Diane Neese for the months and months of hard work she spent on organizing the Scrapbooking Crop on Saturday, Oct. 9th.  Easy Street Theater received a wonderful gift for all that hard work.  Friends like Diane are priceless.  Thank you, thank you from ALL OF US.

WHOOPS!  Due to unexpected circumstances, we’ve had to change the play for our upcoming student production.  So, we are taking a trip back in time to our very first show….”The Frog Prince”.  What could be better than that?  We all loved that play and had an exceptionally appreciative audience response.

We get to introduce this charming play to a fresh cast of young actors and their buddies.  Who wouldn’t want to be a prince, princess, King or Queen?  unless you’d rather be a fairy godmother or a frog.

Come and see our nine royal cast members on Friday, November 12th, Saturday, November 13th at 7:00 p.m. or Sunday, November 14th at 2 p.m.   Performances will take place at Kankakee Junior High School, 2250 Crestwood, Kankakee, Il. 60901.    

 Tickets are only $5.00.  Sold at the door.  Don’t be late….you won’t want to miss a thing.
