Have you ever walked into a cemetery and wondered about the lives of the people lying under the headstones? At the next production of the Extended Run Players (ERP), residents of a smalltown cemetery will speak to you from beyond the grave . . .

ERP will present an adaptation of “Spoon River Anthology” by Edgar Lee Masters on Thursday and Friday, May 14 and 15, at 2:30 p.m. at the Cheever Theatre of the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW). The text of this American classic will be brought to life by a cast of seasoned local actors, under the direction of Michael Howard and Linda Ford. As with all ERP productions, proceeds will benefit a scholarship fund for promising theater students at UIW. A suggested donation of $20 (cash or check) will be accepted at the door.

UIW is located at 4301 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209. The Cheever Theatre, in the Coates Theatre Building, is just west of the intersection of Broadway and Hildebrand Avenue, facing Hildebrand. Free campus parking will be available.

Edgar Lee Masters published “Spoon River Anthology” in 1915 as a series of short, free-verse poems, the epitaphs of departed souls from the fictional Midwestern town of Spoon River. Many of the pieces were considered scandalous when they first appeared, exposing the hypocrisy behind the supposedly virtuous life of rural America, as those who “sleep beneath [the] weeds” revealed their secrets and regrets, their loves, frustrations, and unfulfilled dreams. The book was initially banned in Masters’s hometown of Lewistown, Illinois, because of the thinly veiled identities of the characters.

ERP originated in 1996, when a group of local theater notables and drama department staff at UIW, energized by Sister Germaine Corbin, envisioned a readers’ theater for San Antonio. An affiliate of the UIW Department of Theatre Arts, the troupe offers performances three times a year at UIW and by special arrangement elsewhere in the community. As the participating actors like to say, collectively they have “over 1,000 years of experience”!

Helen Wheeler is a gun totin’ and whiskey drinking Granny, living in the small town of Crockett, Oklahoma. When Helen isn’t locked up in the local clink, she’s on her front porch shootin’ up critters and the local kids. Not even the local sheriff, who has already taken away all of her ammo and her driver’s license, can manage to uphold the law when it comes to Helen, her sidekick Zona, and their daily “Thelma and Louise” antics. Helen’s son Nelson thinks it’s time for Mama to move out of Crockett and closer to him.

The oldest continual running school and the smallest left in Texas keeping the tradition of a school play and BBQ Benefit alive. We have 22 students (K-8) that would love to see a great turnout to help us celebrate the end of school and this tradition still running strong. We will be serving Mutton, pork, sausage, and chicken by the pound. The kids will also be selling the plants they raised this year and baked goods for dessert.
Another fun part to the day is the raffle with close to 30 prizes currently and growing. We will also be selling squares for Chicken Bingo!

Mutton, Pork, Chicken and Sausage sold by the pound.
Raffle Tickets for donated items are 5$ each or 6 for 20$

Free to attend the School closing play @ 6:30pm
