The 61st Season is Underway!
The 2009-2010 season is well underway, as it begins its 61st year for theatre in Marshall! <br /><br />Joining forces with Marshall Civic Players, the Dramatic Action Theatre Company presented "A Grand Night for Singing", a musical review of Rodgers and Hammersteins well-known and not-so well known melodies. The show received warm reviews and standing ovations, as it closed its second week. <br /><br />Next on the calendar for MCP is the return of the holiday favorite, "A Christmas Carol", an adaptation by Phil Haggerty of the Charles Dickens classic story of spirits, hearts and the embracing of life to its fullest. Heading the cast as Scrooge is Jonathan Scovie, along with a cast of dozens, both young and old who bring this remarkable story to life, all under the direction of Tom Whitesell. Full of 1800s costumes and settings, this show is sure to be a hit, as it ushers in the Christmas season.<br /><br />Next on the slate for MCP is "Guys and Dolls", a musical tale of gamblers, missionaries and dances set in the hustle and bustle of New York City during the days of Prohibition. Returning to join efforts in bringing this show to Marshall will be Charles Burr, director, Rick Boyer, technical director and Kathie Boyer, producer. The show will be thoroughly enjoyable to take part in, both onstage and in the audience. Auditions will be set for shortly after the new year, and everyone is welcome to join the fun!<br /><br />"See How They Run" will be the May production for the Players, a classic English farce full of mistaken identities, doors and, of course, vicars. Look for auditions to take place in late March/early April, with the show opening May 14.<br /><br />Once again, MCP is working hard to bring quality theatre to Marshall and the Calhoun county area. Come be a part of the fun and excitement that's in store at the Franke Center and the Marshall Civic Players!
