A.Sault on the Senses or
Medium at Large
By Greg Miller

The Mantorville Theatre Company finds a happy medium
COVID-19 has hit the theatre community hard, making live public performances impossible to manage without risking the health and safety of its patrons and its actors. As a result, theaters everywhere are finding new ways to bring theatre to you!
Mantorville Theatre Company held its first ever virtual melodrama in June and now we are treating our audience with another! A.Sault on the Senses or Medium at Large written by Greg Miller will become "live" July 10 and run through July 26.

About the play:
A wicked charlatan and his dimwitted sidekick make plans to bilk a gullible, elderly widow out of her fortune by pretending to be a spiritual medium and holding a sham séance. With the help of a doubting debutant, her bumbling beau and the bickering household staff perhaps this hokey hoodwinking can be averted!
The play is directed by Cheryl Frarck and video editing is done by Chris Christensen.
Gather the family around and boo, hiss, sigh, and cheer away!

Melodrama season live performance canceled;
Fall musical "LIZZIE" postponed
Dear Patrons, Volunteers, and Supporters,
As we continue to manage our lives during this pandemic, discussions of when and how it would be safe for businesses to reopen are a constant. Theaters are no exception but are certainly full of just as much complexity and consideration as many other businesses. The issues of public health, maintaining social distancing (for both patrons and volunteers/actors), disinfecting and cleaning, and overall costs have been weighing heavily on many a theatre board.
At this time, the Mantorville Theatre Company has made the difficult decision to cancel the remaining melodrama season. This will be the first time in decades MTC has not run melodramas in the summer, and we are deeply saddened by this turn of events.
Furthermore, the October production of Lizzie: the Musical has also been postponed to October 2021.
As always, we will send out further notifications and updates as they happen. Our first concern is always to the safety of our community, our patrons and our amazing volunteers. We will reopen someday, and we will be doing so as safely as we can. And, of course, we look forward to seeing you all in person again in the future.
Our physical doors may be closed and our stage empty, but our desire to bring you entertainment has not been diminished or subdued. For your viewing pleasure we will provide virtual melodramas watch our website or Facebook page for updates and links.
Please stay safe and healthy!
Thank you,
MTC Board of Directors

MTC grieves loss

The Mantorville Theatre Company is deeply grieved at the loss of our theatre's leader, champion and friend, Patrick Sean Quint. https://www.czaplewskifuneralhomes.com/obituary/patrick-quint
Patrick was often the driving force behind improvements for theatre company and the Opera House. He applied for grants and spearheaded fundraisers. Patrick served two terms as president on the MTC. board. He led with enthusiasm, positivity and creativity. We and the whole area community will miss his energetic, can-do, let's-go- ahead-and-try-it attitude.
From lights to set construction, Patrick not only worked behind the scenes but was a great actor in the lights, on the stage, as well. In fact, his entire family has delighted audiences with their talents. His wife, Ingvild has served as costumer for several shows and his children, Anders, Johanna and Torsten, have all been actors on the stage more than once. And all three kids have had the chance to perform on stage with their dad. We are heartbroken for this precious, talented and giving family.
