  It's backyard movie time.  We've got a fun evening planned in Gail and Dick Bird's backyard.  We'll setup the big screen, the speakers and watch (or re-watch) The Bucket List.  If you'd like to see the trailer for the movie click here.

  Since it's Movie Night we've got a movie themed dinner planned for you: hot dogs, sodas, popcorn, ice cream and more.  A great evening for only $ 7 each.

  Please register by September 1st so we can make sure to have enough chairs and buy the goodies.

  Any questions, call Chris Smith at 916-712-6979,

  This will be an amazing time together as we enjoy good food, fine friends and see an incredible show performed by the multi-talented group High Voltage!

  High Voltage is El Dorado Musical Theatre’s group of high-energy young performers who sing, dance, and entertain a wide range of audiences. They are EDMT’s “Performance Ambassadors” who perform not only in the theater, but who take entertainment into the community.

  Since establishing El Dorado Musical Theatre, the creative staff was asked again and again if there were groups of performers willing to entertain at community service centers, holiday celebrations, and various local special events. High Voltage was established in 2009 to meet the need and has been performing ever since.

  An audition-only group, High Voltage performs together for an entire year, or in theater terminology, “season.” The group size varies from season to season, but is generally about 20–22 performers ages 13–22.

  The creative team for High Voltage includes Director/Choreographer, Debbie Wilson and Vocal Director, Jennifer Wittmayer.

  You DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT!  Registration will be open in October.
