FACE, which was established in 1973, is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to enrich, educate and entertain the community by providing superior theatrical, musical, and choral experiences for both participants and audiences.

“We are excited to host the FACE Players at The EPC as they celebrate 50 years in our community,” said Kim Jansen, executive director of The EPC.  “Our organization and FACE’s organization have very similar missions, which include promoting the arts in the community.”

To kick-off the 50th-year celebration, FACE will host a public reception at The EPC from 6 to 8 pm Tuesday, January 17.  The event will include a special presale offer for all attendees. 

“We are honored and grateful to partner with the ACCI Board and the EPC to celebrate our 50th anniversary season,” said Nancy Liss, president of FACE.  “This reception is an ideal time to renew your membership, become a member, reserve seats for an upcoming show at a discount, pick-up 2023 scholarship information, share your favorite FACE funny moments or just to visit.”

The FACE Membership and EPC Season Ticket Holder exclusive presale will be held from 10 am Wednesday, January 18 to 2 pm Tuesday, January 24.  All FACE members and EPC Season Ticket Holders will receive a 5 percent discount on tickets purchased during the presale.  Presale tickets can be purchased through The EPC’s Box Office or by calling (217) 540-2788.
