Cerritos College Theatre Department to present The Rimers of Eldritch
A play about hypocrisy, secrets and small town dissolution
WHAT: The Cerritos College Theatre Department will present this classic piece of literature written by Lanford Wilson and directed by Janet Miller.
The Rimers of Eldritch is a portrait of a decaying Bible Belt town, Eldritch, Missouri, that once was
a prosperous coal mining community, now "population about 70." In Eldritch, sin hides behind a
facade of Christian morality and people who don't conform to their neighbors' standards live in
isolation. Over 3 Seasons, Spring, Summer and Fall, a man is murdered and a woman tried for it,
lovers come together and fall apart, bored teenagers search for adventure and escape, and
families hide conflicts behind closed doors. Their stories blend together seamlessly in a nonlinear
collage of events, relationships and secrets.
The story focuses on the murder of town hermit, Skelly, by a woman who mistakenly thought he
was committing rape when he was trying to prevent it. Presiding over the trial is the sanctimonious local preacher, a hypocrite who instills fear of hellfire and eternal damnation over his congregation. The play contains strong language and mature themes.
Tickets are on sale online or in the Theatre Office from 12 - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
WHEN: Friday, Mar 2, at 8 p.m.
Saturday, Mar 3, at 8 p.m.

Cerritos film students honored for their community service
Six students in the Cerritos College film class were honored with a certificate of appreciation on
February 16 for producing public service announcements (PSAs) for the St. Francis Medical
Center Trauma Department.
The students in the Television Production class produced these PSAs as a class assignment in an outreach effort of providing services to our local communities.
It all began with a phone call from Paul Carrillo, Injury Prevention Coordinator at the St. Francis Medical Center. He asked for help in producing antiviolence promos and visited the class last semester
with associates from St. Francis as well as from
Southern California Crossroads, a non-profit organization assists under-privileged youth who come from low-income families in violence-plagued
communities.
In a short presentation, they inspired the whole class to produce PSAs in creating awareness of
domestic and gang violence prevention. For most of the 17 students in class, it was their first
video project.
"What was remarkable to see is how they brainstormed, work-shopped, pitched ideas to Paul
Carrillo and his associates, then refined those ideas into 30 second messages and virtually produced the PSAs with very little supervision," said Professor Steven Hirohama.
The first-cuts by the 17 students were submitted for review in late October and then they were
re-edited by the end of the fall semester. Eleven students completed the PSAs; an incredible
achievement in the course of three months.
"I'm pleased that I got this certificate. Even though some will see it as just a piece of paper, it still
means a lot to me," said Daniel Nieto.
Eighteen-year old Jocelyn Coleman produced a PSA on cyber-bullying. "The most challenging
part of doing the PSA was finding a way to get the message through that would be potent
enough and make an emotional appeal to viewers to see what really happens on an everyday basis and that it isn't just a joke."
The students who were presented certificates: Chayanne Acosta, Rodrigo Arzate, Jocelyn
Coleman, Ryan Hickenbottom, Cristina Navarro and Daniel Nieto.
The PSAs are being used by the St. Francis Medical Center's Trauma Department to educate
the community about violence; Youth Violence, Domestic Violence, Gang Violence, Bullying,
8
etc. View the PSAs on youtube.com/sfmctrauma
