This show has a lot to consider and a lot to discuss for the appropriate theater patron. I went into EPAC's production of How I Learned to Drive not knowing what to expect. I have never heard of the show. EPAC's synopsis was not very helpful. It referenced 'a woman's coming of age through the 60's and 70's' and said that the story 'finds compassion and humor in the places you'd least expect'. I was prepared for something light and fluffy along the lines of the TV show, The Wonder Years. I was wrong, very wrong.

The Ephrata Performing Arts Center takes a step outside of the community theater comfort zone with their recent production of Hedda Gabler. While many theaters are catering to the greatest common denominator, EPAC continues to take risks and prioritize quality over quantity. This production is a perfect example of that mission.

The 2021 Season at Ephrata Performing Arts Center will begin February 26, 2021.

The Ephrata Performing Arts Center will present an online concert event 'The Essential EPAC Concert | A Glimpse Into EPAC's Celebrated Past & Present', premiering Saturday, June 13 at 8:00pm.

The Man Who Came to Dinner is a fun and funny, old-fashioned romp. Led by Ed Fernandez, the seasoned cast of 20 present an energetic and dynamic night of theater. Fernandez stars as radio personality and houseguest from Hell, Sheridan Whiteside. Whiteside slips on the ice outside the Stanley residence and is forced to recuperate among the 'common folk'. Fernandez plays a great curmudgeon yet knows when to pull it in to make the character more well-rounded and less cartoonish.

It's the Middle Class versus the Elites in Kaufman and Hart's uproarious comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner. An instant hit when it opened on Broadway in 1939, the play has gone on to be one of the most performed American comedies.
