“A Winnie-The-Pooh Christmas Tail” will be performed on December 14 at 11 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. in the John Anglin Performing Arts Center in Hansen Hall.

A very special Friend-and-Relation tells Christopher Robin a story of a Christmas Eve very long ago (about last year) when Eeyore, the old gray donkey who lives by himself in the thistle corner of Hundred-Acre Wood, was absolutely miserable. It seems that he lost his tail and Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet got all of their friends and a search was organized. There is a great deal of fun and excitement, plus delightful songs, in the adventure that follows.

Auditions for “Church and State” will be March 2-3 at 6:30 p.m. in the John Anglin Performing Arts Center in Hansen Hall.

Three days before his bid for reelection, in the wake of a school shooting in his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, a Republican U.S. Senator makes an off-the-cuff comment to a blogger that gets leaked on “the Twitter,” calling into question the senator’s stance on guns and God. As his devoutly Christian wife and liberal Jewish campaign manager try to contain the damage, this look at how religion influences politics and how politics has become a religion is simultaneously funny, heartbreaking, and uplifting.

The Trombones return to ECC with a new program featuring works recently commissioned by the group, including works by Caleb Burhans (Alarm Will Sound) and St. Louis’s own Adam Maness (The 442’s).
