Due to the FCC selling frequencies, it is required that the CEC replace all of their wireless microphones by the year 2020. The wireless microphones cost approximately $400-$500 each and at least 10 need to be replaced, so a second fundraiser was in order.

Tickets went on sale on October 1st and are $15 per attendee. Reservations may be made by calling Sarah Kinder at 618-883-2089. Reservations are only being taken by Sarah and will not be taken via Facebook. Please contact Sarah for any questions regarding reservations.

About the Calhoun Entertainment Company
Calhoun Entertainment Company (CEC) has been performing musicals and other productions since the spring of 1989. We are a not-for-profit organization that finds a place for all that wish to participate. As this is a small community, most musical/drama programs have been cut in the schools, so the CEC serves as the only avenue for the young or young at heart to perform. We also perform a Christmas season concert and showcase the Calhoun Entertainment Company Jamboree Show during the month of July. The proceeds from our Jamboree and donations from the Christmas concert help finance our spring musical. Our group also has a Rock N Roll band that performs throughout the county at various events.
