The church had a drive March 7 at the Keizer Albert- sons (soon to become a Hag- gen) on River Road North to raise funds for a mission trip to Haiti in July. The group Funds2Orgs purchased shoes, with church members using those funds to finance the trip. Proceeds from shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house families in places such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Shoes will continue to be collected at the church, locat- ed at 5775 McLeod Lane NE in Keizer, through April 1.

Keizer theatre troupe slates 2015 season Keizer Homegrown Theatre recently announced is slate of productions for 2015. In May, the troupe will premiere Always Patsy Cline, written by Ted Swindley. The play, based on actual events, follows the country singer’s unlikely friendship with a fan that continued for many years through letter writing. The show will open Iris Festival weekend, May 14-16, and continue the following weekend, May 21-23. The location has not been set. The company’s fourth annual Shakespeare in the Park pro- duction this summer will be A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play is the Bard’s take on romantic comedy as characters fall in and out of love during the course of a weekend. Auditions are set for May 23 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Keizer Civic Center Gazebo. KHT’s final show of the year will be Doubt, A Parable by John Patrick Shanley. The drama, which tells the story of a priest sus- pected of illicit behavior, is less about scandal than the pitfalls of moral certainty. Shanley won the Pulitzer Prize for his script in 2005. The show went on to win a Tony Award. For more information, or to volunteer, go to www.keizer- homegrowntheatre.org
