Mr. Peirce, exit stage left…

Local talent Jeff Peirce and his family are bidding Eugene farewell and moving to the East. The timing of this move is unfortunate, as it makes it impossible for Jeff to continue with his role in Wild Oats. Luckily, Richard Leebrick has already agreed to step into the role. He joins the rollicking cast as Twitch, the bumbling leader in local law enforcement. As the Rep bids Jeff and his family adieu, we’d like to welcome Richard Leebrick back to the Soreng stage for his seventh Willamette Rep production in this delightful Restoration comedy. Don’t miss Wild Oats in the Soreng Theater at the Hult Center, April 2-20!
