We have been working to put together a fabulous WCE Revue, 70th anniversary edition. Hence, the title…That 70th Show! We are truly excited to team up with our beneficiary, Piven Theater Workshop, to raise money to support their youth scholarship program which will allow 3rd through 5th graders to attend classes and participate in performances at Piven regardless of their families’ability to pay.

We will be holding show signups Tuesday, October 26, 6:00-9:00pm at the Clubhouse. Yes, it’s on a TUESDAY NIGHT! Come let us know that you want to be part of the cast of our 2022 WCE Revue, "That 70th Show"! You’ll fill out your casting card and some other minor paperwork, then you’ll spend some time singing and dancing with us so that we can get an idea of how to make sure you sparkle onstage. We want to make it as simple and as fun as possible.

If you’d like to fill out your casting information virtually, you can do so at any time by clicking on the following link: “That 70th Show” CASTING CARD.

During signups, we will ask you to sing a few bars for us. No need to prepare anything in advance, we will have lyrics printed and karaoke tracks queued up for the following: Hey Jude, I’ll be there, Cabaret, One, You don’t own me, Here I go again , Sweet Caroline , My girl. Or, if none of those are your style, feel free to sing any other song you‘d like to bring. We never get tired of hearing Happy Birthday, for instance!

If you want to be cast in a dance number this year, you’ll head to up to the ballroom to enjoy learning a few cool moves with friends old and new. Wear something you can comfortably move in. If you’ve got character shoes, bring those. No problem if you don’t have dance shoes, we’ll have a good time together no matter what!

We will follow WCE COVID protocols to keep us all safe and if there are any changes, we will be sure to adhere to club policy.

Join us Tuesday, October 26 for an evening of fun and camaraderie. We hope to see you
