Quick Takes
Elgin Opera House’s next production
will be on fi lm
ELGIN — Terry Hale, executive artistic director
for the Elgin Opera House, is directing a fi lm version
of Disney’s popular “High School Musical Jr.” with a
70-member cast, the majority of whom are high school
students.
The production is designed to replicate the experi-
ence of watching a live theater performance at the
Elgin Opera House. Filming of “High School Musical
Jr.” will continue for about another month, after which
production work will be completed.
The Elgin Opera House musical will be shown
online April 24 to May 2. All showings will be at 7:30
p.m. except for May 2, which will start at 4:30 p.m.
Information on purchasing tickets is available at
elginoperahouse.com/box-offi ce.
Hale said those watching should not be late because
viewers will not be able to rewind or pause the show:
“It will start and run just like a live show at the Opera
House.”

Wallowa Fiddle Tunes Camp goes virtual
WALLOWA — The board of directors of the Wallowa Valley Music Alliance
has made a decision to hold Wallowa Fiddle Tunes Camp 2021 as a virtual
program this July.
What has traditionally been a gathering on the campus of the Wallowa
School will be adapted to the world of online music instruction. The decision
was not made without careful consideration regarding the health and safety
of camp participants and the local community.
The Wallowa Valley Music Alliance in a press release said the board is
excited to reenvision what the long-standing music camp could grow to be.
The instructors who will be joining the online camp include Matt Bell, Stuart
Mason, Andy Emert, Emily Muller-Cary, John Weed, Larry Chung, Carla
Arnold and Alan Feves.
The virtual camp may not take place over the entire week, but there will
be at least three days (Friday through Sunday, July 16-18) of instruction and
fi ddle tunes community activities.
Registration will open online April 1 at www.wvmusicalliance.org.
“Stay tuned for all the details,” stated the release. “We are busy crafting
the best way to bring top-quality instruction in traditional string band music.”
Be safe, wear masks,
stay distanced: we will
get through this.
Thank you. Mae
