CURTAIN CALL
LIVE THEATER AND MUSICAL
PRODUCTIONS AROUND EASTERN OREGON
Returning to the stage
The Elgin Opera House, Hale
said, is aiming to provide live the-
ater and musicals throughout the
year. And it’s becoming a regional
troupe, with actors from at least
four Eastern Oregon counties.
“Our goal is to be doing the-
ater all the time,” Hale said.
For those who are uncomfort-
able attending a show but still
want to support the theater, an
option is to buy a “Wish I Could
Make It” ticket.
“They basically make a dona-
tion in the amount of a ticket
price,” Hale said.

LGIN — After nearly two
years of no main stage
shows, the Elgin Opera House
has three musicals scheduled
through the end of 2021.
“It’s a little busy, but it’s awe-
some. We’re ramping things up,”
said Terry Hale, artistic director.
“Matilda” opens Oct. 1 for
four weekends of performanc-
es. (Look for a feature in the
Sept. 23 issue of Go!) This show
was originally cast and sched-
uled for early 2020. Much of
the cast is the same — except
older.
“When I cast it, I had a bunch
of little kids,” Hale said.
“Tuck Everlasting” opens
Nov. 19 with performances
through Dec. 11.
“We’ve started rehearsing
‘Tuck’ a bit,” Hale said. “The cast
I have is phenomenal. ‘Tuck’ is a
labor of love. It’s something I’ve
wanted to do for a long time. It
will make you laugh, make you
cry, make you think. You’ll leave
feeling inspired.”
In December, “A Christmas
Carol” begins Dec. 10 for three
weekends of shows.
Some cast members are in
both “Matilda” and “Tuck.” How-
ever, due to overlapping sched-
ules, “Tuck” and “A Christmas
Carol” don’t share any actors.
Tickets are on sale now for
“Matilda.” The role of Matilda is
so large, Hale has cast two actors
to share it. When purchasing
tickets, it is specifi ed which actor
is starring in a particular produc-
tion.
Hale said each actor — veter-
an Abigale Roulet and newcomer
Rebecca Austin — brings her
own spin to the role.
“I’d recommend people buy
two tickets,” Hale said. “They
would fi nd it intriguing to see the
two Matildas perform.”
Tickets are $18 for the
orchestra level and lower bal-
cony. Upper balcony seats at $8.
