Two Show Weekend

On Firday and Saturday night this weekend, we have two shows performing at the Cole Theatre - Les Miserables in Davis Theatre I and Moonlight and Magnolias in Mabee Theatre II. Les Miserables is a hold over on the original run of our 2009 opening musical, and this will be the final weekend for this show. Moonlight and Magnolias is the second production in our 2009 season, and it has performances all weekend, including Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. After striking the set, costumes and props of Les Miserables on Saturday night, the tech crew only has 13 days before the opening of Pinocchio, the third production in our 2009 season.

Yesterday, the Box Office informed me that all remaining performances of Moonlight and Magnolias were sold out. As a result, we added two Sunday matinees (March 29th and April 5th at 2 p.m.) to the run of the show. If you have not reserved tickets for the second production in our 2009 membership season, contact the Box Office (570-4111) and make a reservation. Director Jane Moore and her wonderful cast - David Theobald, James McNew, Michael Fields and Jennifer Oliver - have worked hard on this funny show.

Best wishes to the cast and crew of Half a Lifetime at the Texas Nonprofit Theatre (TNT) state festival in Ft. Worth. The Texas state festival for AACTFest 09 is taking place this weekend, and the top two shows from this competition will advance to the regionals - the winner of the regional will perform at the AACT national festival in Tacoma, Washington in June. MCT's entry will perform on Friday night (March 20th) at the Texas state festival - best wishes to director Cody Tumlin and his cast, including Phil Tytanic, Justin Tate, Beau Dameron.
