Over the past several years, MCT has been fortunate to produce shows for the first time as a community theatre. Of course, we have a history of original productions - for many years, we have conducted the McLaren comedy competition and have annually produced a finalists in the next season. For the past 15 years, Midland audiences had the chance to see the very first production of these original comedies.
Over the past two years, we have been lucky enough to produce some Broadway musicals right when they became available. In 2008, we were the first community theatre to produce Mel Brooks' The Producers, which was our 2008 opening musical. This spring, we were not the first to produce Les Miserables - it was produced at a community theatre in Hawaii last fall - but we are the first to produce it in the Continental USA. Now, we are the first community theatre to produce Rent.
Auditions for Rent happened on Sunday and Monday, and the cast list was posted on Tuesday - you can find it under "cast lists" on the MCT website. Director Carl Moore, Musical Director Bert Bostic and Choreographer Misti Tytanic will begin working with this talented cast on Sunday to get ready for our opening at the Yucca Theatre in late April. Performances will take place April 24, 25 and May 1,2 - watch for more information on tickets.
If you would like to get involved in an original production, auditions for the 2008 McLaren winner Knock Knock will take place on Sunday and Monday, March 29th and 30th at 6:30 p.m. Scripts are available in the Business Office to read prior to auditions.
