Westminster Presbyterian Church Rolls Out The Red Carpet for the “8th Annual Greg Baldwin Oscar Sunday Extravaganza” Sunday, March 7th, at 9:00 a.m and 11:00 a.m. Drawing inspiration from the films nominated for “Best Picture,” the writer/director team of Greg and Melissa Baldwin (creators of “NATIVITY! The Musical”) concoct a faux awards show that consistently elicits guffaws and “Aha!s” and somehow miraculously brings home a message about the most-thanked individual in Oscar history: God. Admission is free, “formal” attire is encouraged and refreshments will be served thereafter at the Governor’s Ball in the adjoining Fellowship Hall. Westminster Presbyterian Church is located at 542 N. Buena Vista Street (at the corner of Buena Vista and Clark) in Burbank. For more information, call (818) 842-5264. For a peek at last year’s festivities, watch the video. Church Website URL: http://www.westpresburbank.org Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9oJTbdoirw
