We are proud to have so many talented performers within our current and former e.T.c. families. We believe that once an e.T.c.er, always an e.T.c.er. If you are an e.T.c participant and would like us to post an announcement of a production or event that you are part of, just email us! We'd love to hear from you.
Jeremy Venook will be appearing as Mr. Mushnik in San Mateo High School's upcoming production of the Little Shop of Horrors. Hope you can fit in both Narnia and Little Shop! Performances of Little Shop are from November 1 - 4 at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center. You may remember Jeremy from other eTc shows--he was one of the JoJos in Seussical, a Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, and one of the Artful Dodgers in Oliver. Hi to everyone at eTc!!!
Ashley Chiu from previous shows in Annie and Honk will star as "Ahn" the Golden Child. Golden Child runs for 4 weekends at the Hillbarn Theatre in Foster City starting March 16th to April 7th. We hope you can come see her in this special performance.
Just a quick note about Lisa Wooldridge, who participated in many eTc productions, including Beauty and the Beast, Oliver, Annie, and Seussical. Lisa is now a 7th grade student at William Annin Middle School in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The school musical this year at William Annin is "High School Musical," with performances from March 29 through April 1, 2006. Lisa plays the part of Ripper, one of the skater dudes.
Competition for parts was very tough again this year, with several hundred students auditioning. Lisa's experience with eTc was very valuable in getting a part.
We have wonderful memories of our times with eTc.
