ENC Theatre Season 2011-2012
Eastern Nazarene College is proud to present three theatrical performances each academic year. The shows vary in genre and style, representing a wide spectrum of entertainment that audiences are sure to enjoy! Please
check out video interviews from previous shows and we look forward to seeing you at one of the performances this year!
Painting Churches, by Tina Howe, brings home Maggie Church, a successful New York portrait artist, to Boston to help her parents pack up their Beacon Hill home and move to a cottage on Cape Cod. Fanny and Gardner Church are well-off Bostonians (a last remnant of the Brahmin line), but Gardner, a Poet Laureate, is growing worse with Alzheimer's and Fanny is unraveling trying to take care of him. A delicate situation. Add to that Maggie's own issues she's been running away from and Tina Howe paints a funny, quirky, yet sensitive portrait of the Churches -- if they would only sit still long enough as subjects.
"Beautifully written. . . . A theatrical family portrait that has the shimmer and depth of Renoir portraits." - The New York Times
Painting Churches held its New York premiere at the Lamb’s Club to thrilled audiences – we are equally thrilled to bring this to ENC’s stage April 19-21.
Tickets: $10 General Admission, $7 for non-ENC students, and $5 with an ENC student ID and for children 12 and under. Tickets are available online or by calling the ENC Box Office at 617-745-3715.
