You can help us support the show by shopping at the sale, of course, but we are also looking for people to help set up, and of course we need things to sell! Just completed your spring cleaning and want to get rid of the junk you dug out of the closet? Let us take it! You'll get rid of your clutter and support your local civic theatre at the same time. If you're interested in volunteering or donating, please contact us at info@mcct.org. Please continue to watch this space for more informtion about the exact time and location.

Babes in Arms
Jackson Creek Middle School
7:00pm, March 25, 26, and 27, 2010
2:00pm, March 27, 2010
Babes in Arms, Rodgers and Hart’s heartwarming 1937 musical comedy, features the standards “Where or When,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “The Lady Is a Tramp.” When the adults of Seaport, Long Island—vaudeville actors—go off in search of work at the height of the Depression, the kids are left alone. The sheriff wants to send these “babes in arms” to the Work Farm as public charges, but the kids assert their independence—by putting on a show in the barn! Setbacks, complications, romantic entanglements, and unexpected fortune all will play their part before the curtain falls. Sheila Butler serves as Stage Director and Russell Stinson of Barnyard Productions serves as Musical Director for this show brought to you by MCCT in conjunction with Barnyard Productions. Admission will be $10 General Admission or $8 for ages 18 and under at the door, with a $2 discount on all tickets purchased in advance (from a cast member, Bloomingfoods East, or Bloomingtonarts.info). Please click here for more information about the cast. Please also consider donating to help make this show happen, either at the Evening of Cabaret on February 19 or through our FirstGiving page (accessible here or via the widget in the sidebar to the left).
Henry VIII
Third Street Park Stage
June 2010
Our first Shakespeare in the Park offering in 2010 will be Denise Valkyrie's production of Henry VIII, a rare performance of one of Shakespeare's histories. In this play, Shakespeare deals with events which would have been quite recent history in his time: the dissolution of Henry's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the execution of the Duke of Buckingham on the charge of treason, Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn and the birth of Anne's daughter. That daughter, of course, became Elizabeth I and was the Queen during most of Shakespeare's life. This production will be a unique experience, focusing on bringing out the subtext and drawing modern audiences into the intrigue of the Tudor dynasty.
