In March we had our basic staff. All we had to do now was: choose a show, set the rehearsal and show dates, get information In 1996 our program was approved.

The program would be expectations and rules for the summer program. Phew! run as a class giving students the opportunity to earn two fine arts credits. Due to some snags it almost didn’t happen. It was in February of 1997 the WPEF board decided it was too late to The first show make the necessary preparations for the show that summer. I Since Castle HS’s auditorium was the largest facility in went to the board and told them wasn’t too late. I could make it Warrick County the show was to take place there. We chose happen.

In 2010 I returned to direct WIZARD OF OZ. 2011 was my final year as summer musical director. In February of ’11 I had to take a medical retirement. The WPEF and the WCSC let me have my “swan song.” I directed my second production of CATS choreographed by two former summer show students. My “baby”, as I felt the Warrick Summer Show was to me, grew up and moved on to new people and experiences. Eric took over and has continued to build the program. 20 years of success Twenty years ago the WPEF and WCSC started the Summer Musical Program to give Warrick students the opportunity to participate in a large musical production. Their aim was to not only give students an opportunity to perform, but to learn about everything that goes into production, work with students from other schools and have a rewarding summer experience. They probably never realized that this program would have such an impact on the lives of its participants. Numerous students of the program have continued in theatre in college and have been very successful in their careers. We have theatre and music teachers, a number of actors performing in community and professional theatre across the country (including a very young participant in a touring company of ANNIE), very Suzanne Godeke blocking the cafe scene from Les Mis in 2005 with Ben Laxton successful technicians including professional scenic designers (currently touring with The Book of Mormon) 11 Saturday Performance Sponsor

Show Synopsis

Miss Saigon is an epic, stunning adaptation of Puccini’s opera, Madame Butterfly, by the writers behind Les Miserables. Reframing Puccini’s story by setting it during the Vietnam War, Miss Saigon is a powerful and poignant tale of love in a war- torn country. In the dangerous days before Saigon’s fall in 1975, Chris -- an American GI -- and Kim -- a destitute Vietnamese orphan -- -- fall in love. When the city falls, the lovers are forced apart, and each must find their own way, alone. When, years later, Chris is able to return to Vietnam, he brings with him an American wife. Kim, who has waited for Chris, has raised their son, Tam. With so much devastation behind them, Kim and Chris must decide how to move forward. Miss Saigon is a tragedy of massive proportions: passionate, profound, and heart-wrenchingly honest. With a sung-through score and tour- de-force roles for actors, Miss Saigon is a theatrical experience that will stay with you for years to come.

WPEF Grant Program Recipients

The Warrick Public Education Foundation awarded just shy of $20,000 in grants to teachers in Warrick School Corporation Schools during the 2015/2016 school year. This is done in two increments following applications filed by the teachers requesting assistance with projects outside of their normal classroom allocations. The money, that allows us to do these grant requests, are a direct result of funds netted from the WPEF annual Golf Scramble. We celebrated our 25th year of the WPEF Golf Scramble this past June 27th. We truly appreciate all our sponsors and attendees that made this another successful event this year. Keep informed on this event and all things WPEF at our web site, www.warrickpef.com .
