Northwood Temple\u2019s popular Dinner Theater Production is in its 30th<\/sup> year of the ongoing saga of Smith Corners USA, and this year, the production comes to the campus of Emmanuel College. Led by Buck Hodge, Emmanuel class of 1969, the entire troupe will present Please Don\u2019t Shoot! I\u2019m Just the Messenger <\/em>in the Swails Center on Saturday evening of Homecoming Weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Alumni from all across the United States will make their way to Franklin Springs to celebrate Emmanuel College<\/a>, and the work the Lord continues to do on this campus, at the 98th<\/sup> Annual Homecoming Weekend held October 27-29.<\/p>\n

Homecoming festivities<\/a> will begin Friday morning and will include an Alumni and Friends Meet and<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Greet Cookout at the Shaw Athletic Center and several athletic events.<\/p>\n

Saturday will begin with a reunion for this year\u2019s Golden Grads, the annual Alumni & Friends Awards Luncheon, the Robert Roberson Aquatic Center Dedication, Alumni Intramural Turkey Bowl, and Dress Your Decade Alumni Mixer.<\/p>\n

On Saturday evening, the Swails Center will transition into a dinner theater. For 30 years, audiences have thrilled to the antics, comedy, drama and music of Northwood Temple\u2019s annual dinner theater.\u00a0 Many of our alumni have attended consistently, and many others have wanted to take part. Now, Emmanuel College has the pleasure of hosting the final performance for the 2017 season at Homecoming.<\/p>\n

Smith Corners, N.C., is one of those little towns that seems to have more than a fair share of crazies. Of course, there are plenty of intelligent, normal people living here–but it\u2019s the nuts who stand out in a crowd. This year\u2019s story illustrates the point perfectly. It seems that the Mayor hasn\u2019t been himself lately, and appears to be losing his grip on reality. Some speculate that it\u2019s time for him to retire and let daughter Tilley take over the job\u2014but he\u2019s balking at the idea. Meanwhile, the Preacher has his own set of woes dealing with his aged father, Ukulele Whittlemire. The old gentleman has recently pulled some shenanigans that might well drive his son into bankruptcy. Complicating the situation, the church remodeling project went way over budget, and there\u2019s not enough money in the till to fix everything. Everyone else has a crisis of one kind or another going on. Nobody seems to be getting anything done, except to get on one another\u2019s nerves. However, all is not lost. Leave it to the mail man to bring hope through one of his deliveries. When all is said and done, more has been said that done\u2014but they all leave happy.<\/p>\n

The weekend will conclude with a service at Franklin Springs IPHC at 10:30a.m. where Emmanuel College President, Dr. Ron White will share the message.<\/p>\n

El s\u00e1bado por la noche, el centro de los Swails se convertir\u00e1 en una cena-teatro. Durante 30 a\u00f1os, el p\u00fablico se ha emocionado con las payasadas, comedia, drama y m\u00fasica de la cena anual del templo de Northwood teatro. Muchos de nuestros ex alumnos han asistido de manera consistente, y muchos otros han querido participar. Ahora, Emmanuel College tiene el placer de ser el anfitri\u00f3n de la actuaci\u00f3n final para la temporada 2017 en Homecoming. Smith Corners, Carolina del Norte, es uno de esos peque\u00f1os pueblos que parece tener m\u00e1s de una buena parte de locos. Por supuesto, hay un mont\u00f3n de gente inteligente, normal viviendo aqu\u00ed - pero son los frutos secos que se destacan en una multitud. La historia de este a\u00f1o ilustra perfectamente el punto. Parece que el alcalde no ha sido \u00e9l mismo \u00faltimamente, y parece estar perdiendo su control sobre la realidad. Algunos especulan que es hora de que \u00e9l se retire y deje a hija Tilley asumir el trabajo - pero \u00e9l est\u00e1 rechazando la idea. Mientras tanto, el Predicador tiene su propio conjunto de aflicciones que se ocupan de su viejo padre, Ukulele Whittlemire. El viejo caballero ha sacado recientemente algunas travesuras que podr\u00edan conducir a su hijo a la bancarrota. Complicando la situaci\u00f3n, el proyecto de remodelaci\u00f3n de la iglesia fue mucho m\u00e1s de presupuesto, y no hay suficiente dinero en el caj\u00f3n para arreglar todo. Todo el mundo tiene una crisis de una u otra clase. Nadie parece estar haciendo nada, excepto para ponerse nerviosos. Sin embargo, no todo est\u00e1 perdido. D\u00e9jelo al hombre del correo para traer esperanza a trav\u00e9s de una de sus entregas. Cuando todo est\u00e1 dicho y hecho, se ha dicho m\u00e1s que hecho, pero todos salen contentos. El fin de semana concluir\u00e1 con un servicio en Franklin Springs IPHC a las 10:30 am. donde el presidente del Colegio Emmanuel, Dr. Ron White compartir\u00e1 el mensaje.
