SUMMER

In retrospect — 10 years has seen growth at playhouse

Ten years ago, a group of people from Syracuse, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Elkhart got together to rennovate a Lake Wawasee landmark — The Enchanted Hills Playhouse. Now, a decade later, the playhouse has grown to become one of the more popular spots during the summer for an evening of family entertainment. Robert Zehr, current co-owner of the playhouse along with Douglas Stark, recalls how the summerstock theatre has changed over the years. He said, “It wasn’t always in a barn; in the late 50s it was a group of local theatrical families that produced summer theatre in a tent pitched on ground now occupied by the Crow’s Nest.” He added, “But, as theatre groups grow, the need for a more permanent home becomes apparent. In 1961, the Enchanted Hills Playhouse began its new season in the middle of a different field. But instead of a tent, it was a red Indiana barn that became the new home.” Barn Became Bigger In 1968, came the time when a new or larger barn was needed Zehr remembers, “It was semiprofessional theatre in the round and was the entertainment centei for many Lake Wawasee regulars. Every Friday and Saturday night, it would be a different party out at E.H.P. and for eight seasons the summer playhouse flourished. Again the program outgrew its home, but this time instead of moving to a bigger barn, the new owners in 1969 decided to make their barn bigger.” A new roof was added to the barn along with improved lounge facilities and more comfortable seating. The seating was increased to nearly 250 and a proscenium stage was put in place. New dressing rooms, costume rooms, outside stairways were added as well as a whole new exterior treatment. Zehr comments, “We were no longer looking at a red cow barn, but a contemporary showplace for summer theatre. And it became Indiana’s only

professional equity theatre.” Classics like “Tobacco Road” to “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” filled the stage along with such contemporary theatre pieces as “Jacque Brel is Alive and Well” and “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” More Changes The year 1972 saw more changes come to the playhouse with new owners and ideas. A varied selection of “Best of J Broadway” musicals and comedies were added to the season’s repertoire as well as more performances per season. Zehr said, “The Enchanted Hills Playhouse has developed a strong following from both the Syracuse residents and those that come from the surrounding northern Indiana cities. E.H.P. influence extends even further as summer lake residents carry the word back to their homes from Boston, Indianapolis to Cleveland.” He added, “The 1978 summer season represents 17 straight years that plays have been produced in that cornfield and plans continue for 17 more.” FUNNY GIRL — At the turn of the century the country’s funniest lady was starring at Keeney’s Theatre, she then went to the Ziegfield Follies. Her name: Fanny Brice. Travel with Becky Borczon in her portrayal of Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl” which will close the season at Enchanted Hills Playhouse, Syracuse. This is Becky’s fifth season at Enchanted Hills. Audiences in the past have seen her as Sally Bowles in “Cabaret,” Annie Oakley in “Annie Get Your Gun” and Dolly Levi in “Hello Dolly.” Michael Farah comes to the local playhouse byway of Atlanta, Ga., where he has been working with the Showcase Cabaret. He will portray Nickie Arnstein. Featured in the show will be songs such as “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” "People,” “Sadie, Sadie” and many others. For reservations contact the ticket office. Performance times are Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m. and Saturday, 8:30 p.m.
