GI Jukebox is the 1940′s musical revue by Rick Lewis during WWII where Hollywood stars and
starlets made it their duty to entertain “the boys.” It is a night at the “Stage Door Canteen” filled with some
of the best music of the twentieth century. The show mimics four performers entertaining troops wearing
period uniforms in this U.S.O. styled show. It is a time to go back and remember, or to imagine a time
when the world was at war, and joy and comfort came through the music and whole different brand
of humor. Era-appropriate tunes and medleys are
crooned, warbled, or lilted, with a live musical

ECP Needs
our Patron’s
Assistance!
Plans for the new theatre have been
placed on hold. New air conditioning
and lights have been installed to
continue providing comfortable and
quality entertainment at Electric City
Playhouse. The overwhelming costs
to ECP cannot be absorbed without
financial contributions from the
community. These economic times
present a challenge to all of us. If able
to make a donation (any amount is
appreciated), send to: PO Box 686,
Anderson, SC 29622. Thanks so much!

Tim Kelly from the novel by Dorothy Macardle
Directed by
Written by
Seeking to escape the demands of life in London, Pam Fitzgerald and her brother, Roddy, an aspiring playwright, discover a charming house in the west of England, overlooking the Irish Sea. The house, Cliff End, long
empty, was purchased at a suspiciously low price from crusty Commander Brooke. The house has an unsavory
reputation. Fifteen years earlier a suspected murder occurred by the gnarled tree. Slowly the Fitzgeralds begin
to sense the evil spirit that still inhabits the house. Local visitors share the tale and stories of Mary Meredith,
who once lived in the house and of the unstable Carmel, who posed for a painting that led to her destruction.
With the help of Mary’s daughter, Stella, whose mysterious birth holds the key to the puzzle, and a séance, Cliff
End is forced to reveal its dark secrets and ghostly truths.
Dueling The
Pianos
Recap
Dueling Pianos performed at ECP on Friday,August 3, 2012 was
enthusiastically received by a sold out audience. Jamie Hawkins and
Anda Mobely played a duet of many familiar pieces such as “America
the Beautiful” and “William
Tell Overture”. Jamie played a
classic solo piece, “Polichinelle”
by Rachmaninoff, while Anda
played a solo popular jazz ballad,
“Misty”. This concert will be
featured once again in 2013!
