Lisa Prater of Derby Plays a Role in Traditional Southwestern College Production

2011 Dec 1

The Southwestern College Campus Players will present their 79th annual production of "Eagerheart" by A.M. Buckton. This year's production of "Eagerheart" will be held in Grace United Methodist Church on Sunday, Dec. 4, at 6:30 p.m. It will also be presented in the newly renovated Richardson Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Lisa Prater, Derby, is a cast member in the production.

"As an annual event, 'Eagerheart' is a gift from Campus Players as we celebrate our joy in the birth of Christ, and selfless giving to those in need," says director Allyson Moon. "Many people in the area refer to 'Eagerheart' as the beginning of their Christmas season."

Moon adds that "Eagerheart" is deeply moving in its timeless message of giving, and is a joy for Southwestern to present each year. The cast consists of Campus Players and an honored maiden who is invited to play the role of Mary.

In the spirit of giving, Campus Players are encouraging those attending to make a donation of money or canned goods to support the Winfield Food Pantry in their endeavors to help those in need.

Performances are free to the public. To make reservations, contact the performing arts office at (620) 221-7720 or e-mail performingarts@sckans.edu.

Southwestern College is a private institution granting undergraduate and graduate degrees and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. About 1,800 students attend classes at the main Winfield campus, at five professional studies sites in Kansas and Oklahoma, or online around the world.
