Paltergeist: Spirited Cycling in Memory of John Palter
Our annual PalterGeist fundraiser is back! This fundraiser is in memory of our friend and family member, John Palter, and benefitting Junior Players.
In acknowledgment of the severe weather we have had at this event in past years, we have made the decision to move our PalterGeist fundraiser to the virtual world (mostly), which means you and your friends can participate at any time through October and November 2025, indoors or outdoors, the choice is yours! You can participate in this fundraiser in two main ways:
Do your own bike ride with friends in honor of John Palter and tag us on social media! All tags will be responded to and reposted and will help bring attention to this event and, in turn, help us raise much needed funds for Junior Players!
Make a donation online! We have an incredible opportunity - a generous donor as agreed to match every dollar you donate, dollar for dollar, up to $4,000! That means if you give $50, it becomes $100. If you give $100, it turns into $200—all to support Junior Players. Make a donation below to DOUBLE your impact!
The funds raised by this ride will not only help Junior Players continue to empower young voices and transform kids' lives through the arts, but will support a memorial college scholarship(s) for one or more of our teen participants in our summer Shakespeare production.
Hadestown Auditions
Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. This acclaimed musical by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and director Rachel Chavkin is winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theater Album.
It intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and Queen Persephone — as it invites you on an unforgettable journey to the underworld and back. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, singers and dancers, HADESTOWN asks audiences to imagine how the world could be.
All current 8 - 12th graders are eligible to audition and both in-person and virtual auditions are available!
In-person auditions will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 3 pm to 7 pm at East Dallas Christian Church (629 N. Peak Street, Dallas TX 75246).
All students auditioning will be asked to prepare a 1-minute monologue as well as 16-32 bars of a song in the style of the show for their audition.
