North Eugene Theater Company is thrilled to announce our fifth Corridor Production, an annual performance that will bring together elementary, middle, and high school students in the North Eugene district. The program is open to all 4th through 8th-grade students in the North region.
This winter, we're producing The Wizard of Oz (Youth Edition), licensed through Concord Theatricals.
This year we're moving auditions forward to the week of December 8th, and rehearsals begin January 6th. Rehearsals run Monday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. Our work will culminate in three live performances: February 26th and 27th at 6 pm, and February 28th at 1 pm. Show tickets are $10. Registration is open now and closes at the end of the month.
This program is free of charge, thanks to a generous grant from the Corridor Parent Teacher Association.
Directors Tim Wilcox and Aaron Thomas will lead NEHS drama students, who will serve acting coaches, vocal coaches, choreographers, and tech crew. They will be mentors and demonstrate what it’s like to be in high school theater.
The production enhances exploration in drama, builds community, and creates a feeder program to support the dramatic arts in North Eugene.
Please reach out to Aaron Thomas at thomas_a@4j.lane.edu for more information.

Little Women
Marisha Chamberlain's play adaptation of "Little Women" retells Louisa May Alcott's classic story of the four March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – as they come of age in Civil War-era New England. The play captures the girls' struggles with poverty, illness, and sibling rivalries, alongside their burgeoning dreams and aspirations. Meg yearns for a family, Jo for a writing career, Beth for domesticity and music, and Amy for artistry and status.
The play emphasizes themes of family, love, individual growth, and the evolving role of women in 19th-century society.

Fiddler on the Roof
Book by Joseph Stein. Music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.
Fiddler on the Roof centers around Tevye, a Jewish milkman living in the village of Anatevka, Ukraine, in 1905. The story revolves around Tevye's efforts to maintain his religious and cultural traditions amidst encroaching outside influences, which he sees as "Tradition" being like a fiddler on a roof, trying to stay balanced. The challenges to tradition are particularly highlighted by the choices of his three oldest daughters. Don't miss this emotional classic!
