We had such a wonderful time getting to see “Wicked” and attend a Q&A with cast members today!

On Saturday, we were honored to welcome special guests from Evangel’s original The Sound of Music cast (1985)! They joined us for the performance and spent time connecting with our current cast members—many of whom are playing the very same roles. What a meaningful full-circle moment!

We also had the joy of celebrating our own Lori Lawley as she prepares to retire at the end of this semester. Her impact on this program and its students is truly lasting.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made our opening weekend so special—we felt your support every step of the way. Only 3 shows left!

Also, a huge THANK YOU to our costumer, Carol Ann Neely for the beautiful costumes, and her husband, Chuck Neely for these amazing photos!

All showings of “The Sound of Music” are SOLD OUT! We are so excited to share this show with you and grateful for the immense support from our community!!

Were you part of Evangel’s original 1985 production of The Sound of Music? 🎶

We’re hosting a special reunion reception after our show on April 11, and we would love to celebrate with you! Seats for the show are limited, but we’re doing our best to make room for as many original cast, crew, and musicians as possible.

If you’d like to attend but don’t have a ticket yet, send us a message—we’d be honored to have you join us!

It may be April Fools’ Day, but it’s no joke that most of our shows for “The Sound of Music” are almost sold out— so get your tickets before it’s too late!! Tickets can be purchased here: https://cur8.com/projects/22688

(A big thank you to Cassie Walker for these rehearsal pics from tech week!) 📸❤️

We had a wonderful time at the Missouri Thespian Conference—meeting so many talented theatre students, participating in college auditions and interviews, and catching the national tour of The Outsiders in St. Louis!

Even a torrential downpour couldn’t dampen the fun. A huge thank you to our four theatre students who represented Evangel so beautifully, and to Ben Paris and the admissions team for making this experience possible. We loved sharing Evangel Theatre with so may students from across the state!
