The Music and Fine Arts Series of Eden Prairie United Methodist Church presents “Dorothy’s Journey” at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 and 12. Joining the “Prairie Church Celebration Players” (the church’s theater group) is guest actor, Chelsea Reller, a junior at Eden Prairie High School, playing the role of Dorothy. Chelsea is a well-known actor with the Eden Prairie High School drama program, and has also performed with The Guthrie Theatre, Children’s Theatre Company, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres and Theatre Latte Da.
“The play “Dorothy’s Journey” is based on “Counting the Cost” by Doug Fagerstrom and adapted by the Rev. Linda Evans. The message of the play is for all ages. The scarecrow, the tin man and the lion may all seem familiar, but Dorothy is definitely on a different journey as she tries to find her way home looking for a Christian who can share their faith and show her the way. The play is co-directed by Linda Evans, and Dr. Larry Evans, retired theatre professor for the Ohio State University,” the release said.
Offering will be accepted following each performance to support Feed My Starving Children.
