PAC 2014-2015 Season

Eastern's PAC was one of 100 schools nationwide to receive a grant from Macy's to produce their original musical Yes, Virginia. Auditions are slated for August 25th right after school until 4:30! Auditions for this year's Performing Arts Club are open to any 3rd, 4th or 5th grader at Eastern. Be ready to read from a script, sing a simple song and maybe a dance a little. Easy, peasy! Don't forget to smile and be on your best behavior! 

Yes, Virginia, The Musical 
December 11th - December 12th, 2014
This holiday classic is based on the 1897 true story of Virginia O'Hanlon, an 8-year-old girl who inspired the most famous newspaper editorial of all time by asking, 'Is there a Santa Claus?'  In 2008, Macy’s partnered with the Make-a-Wish-Foundation to create their Believe campaign based on this “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” editorial and has since adapted the story into an animated television special, a children’s book and now for the first time it is available to perform live.  



Annie Jr.
May 13th-14th, 2015
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
