by Rich Mehrenberg - Apr 13, 2026

Be careful what you wish for at Ephrata Performing Arts Center! Into the Woods, their now-running production, opens with familiar fairytales, including those of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Giant Beanstalk, but these light-hearted stories quickly turn much darker.

Review: HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE at EPAC
by Rich Mehrenberg - Mar 13, 2023

This show has a lot to consider and a lot to discuss for the appropriate theater patron. I went into EPAC's production of How I Learned to Drive not knowing what to expect. I have never heard of the show. EPAC's synopsis was not very helpful. It referenced 'a woman's coming of age through the 60's and 70's' and said that the story 'finds compassion and humor in the places you'd least expect'. I was prepared for something light and fluffy along the lines of the TV show, The Wonder Years. I was wrong, very wrong.
