It's Summer Mummer time!

For sixty-one years, the Mummers have been entertaining the Permian Basin all summer long. This year's theme is big time wrestling - West Texas Fighting (WTF - get it?). Our outstanding volunteers have been working hard to prepare the melodrama and olio, film the movie and edit it in time for opening night and prepare the Yucca Theatre and fill it with mugs, popcorn, beer, novelities and t-shirts. The show opens on Friday night (June 12th) and runs through Labor Day weekend.

Last year, Summer Mummers grossed over $400,000 for our community theatre. It's a wonderful fundraiser, and we couldn't put the show on without our great volunteers onstage, backstage and in the house. Only two groups get paid to work Summer Mummers - the police officers and the people who clean up. Everyone else is a volunteer - show your support for our volunteers and for MCT and put together a group and come see the show!

Tickets - (432) 570-4111 or the MCT website
