The Ephrata High School Drama Department pulled off a double feature of “Race Day” and “Snow White and the Seven Endings,” in just one month. The department had previously planned to perform “Around the World in 80 Days,” but with members of the cast leaving because of scheduling conflicts, the performers decided to pivot and put on a production of two smaller plays.

Fairy tales meet marathons
Ephrata High School drama puts on double feature with a month to prepare
EPHRATA —This weekend, Ephrata audiences will step into a whimsical world where fairy tales meet marathons and laughter dances in the air like confetti. Ephrata High School’s drama department invites the community to join them for a double feature: “Race Day” and “Snow White and the Seven Endings” are taking the stage for closing weekend this Friday and Saturday. The opening weekend kicked off with enthusiastic crowds and some unexpected twists for the cast and crew. “It’s been an incredible journey,” said director Marla Allsopp. “We had to pivot from our original plan of performing ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ due to some casting challenges, but the students showed immense resilience and commitment. They wanted to keep moving forward, and we ended up choosing two new, hilarious shows that would allow them to shine.”
