Starting an improv troupe from scratch is like trying to bake a cake without spoons or a mixer. It can be messy and require some creative processes, but the process ends up being tasty and you end up with a cake that has a real personal touch. So, I guess what I'm saying is, I like cake.

Bath in England is a hotsprings (like French Lick). Richard "Beau" Nash (1674-1761) transformed the sleepy little town into a popular, high class, genteel gathering place and was its guiding social leader. Written about 100 years ago, this playis a romantic fantasy based on fact but not closely.

The singular, all time, most popular episode in the 1940’s radio drama series "Suspense Theater" was "Sorry, Wrong Number!" starring the inimitable Agnes Moorehead as a bedridden, panic stricken, "Mrs. Stevens", who tried, in vain, to convince a series of telephone operators that she had overheard a murder plot on a crossed phone line. A film version later had Barbara Stanwyck in that same role. This evening, MCCT presents an adaptation of the radio script to our local stage.

MCCT Director Robert Wagner has chosen to stage this visual adaptation of the original Moorehead broadcast to entertain our audience with the visual experience Mrs. Stevens’ emotional turmoil; facial expressions, and body language, as well as the voice of a frightened woman unable to rise from her bed.

At the same time, Wagner hopes that tonight’s theater audience will appreciate conjuring up their own images of the other unseen, some even sinister, characters. Indulge in the Suspense!

"Lysistrata Americana" is madcap, slap stick humor; Mel Brooks meets Woody Allen. The play focuses on a war of the sexes, a battle that places both genders in very compromising positions. Adapted from Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, this bawdy satire has lost none of its topicality; the language has been modernized to make the play more accessible to today’s audience. The basic story is that the women of two warring countries join forces and go on a sex strike to stop the men from continuing the war.
