Eastern Theatre Department’s summer performance will be, “Livin’ de Life”, from Uncle Remus Tales of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox.

The play will be performed at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on June 22 and 23 with a matinee at 2 p.m. on June 24 at the Village Theatre, said J. Sain, business and box office manager.

Sain said the tickets will be $5 per person and can be purchased at the Village Theatre Box Office. There is a group rate for 15 people or more. A limited number of tickets are available.

The cast consists of 12 Eastern students who have been practicing for the play since early June, said John Oertling, chairman of the department of theatre arts.

The summer performances, such as “Livin’ de Life”, operate more like a theatre company than the fall performances. The students get paid and do not receive credit for the play, said Oertling.

Oertling describes the differences between the summer performances and the fall performances.

“The students get a broader experience and are more focused,” said Oertling.

Oertling said the play is for people of all ages but mostly for children. It will contain a lot of action and it will be familiar to people.
