Our April 2022 show: ​
​"Leading Ladies!"
​​
In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. 
When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.

LIZZIE 
by Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer, Tim Maner and Alan Stevens Hewitt
Postponed to October, 2022

On a sweltering summer morning in 1892, in a small New England city, a prominent businessman and his wife were brutally axed to death in their home. Their daughter Lizzie Borden was the prime suspect. Lizzie’s trial was a coast-to-coast media sensation, and her story has become an American legend.

​LIZZIE is four women fronting a women's rock band. LIZZIE is rage, sex, betrayal and a bloody murder. LIZZIE is an American mythology set to a blistering rock score.  Intro clip

Show times are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2. Plus on Halloween eve, October 30, we will have a 10 p.m. show!

Unlike our family-friendly melodramas and up coming holiday show, LIZZIE is not for children. Due to the language and adult content of this show, MTC rates this show R, thus the tagline: #notyourmommasmusical
