Mason Community Players Summer Production is GOD’S FAVORITE

MCP_Gods FavoriteThe Mason Community Players is the oldest continually operating community theater organization in Warren County, OH. The group operates and performs at the Mason Community Playhouse, located at 5529 Mason Rd. in Mason, OH. Since its creation in 1973, the Mason Community Players has brought more than 120 productions and 30 original musical reviews to audiences in Mason, Ohio. More importantly, the group has become a family for the community, involving people of all ages on stage, backstage, and as spectators. 

Director Lara Gonzalez and Producer Laureen Catlin invite you to join MCP in its summer production of Neil Simon’s God’s Favorite. Originally written in 1974 by one of the most successful playwrights in theater history, this rendition of the book of Job is sure to bring hilarity to trials and tribulations.  

A long-suffering wife, prodigal son, clueless twins, and a saucy staff are just the beginning. When an unexpected visitor arrives, all hell breaks loose; literally! Learn what happens when things can’t get any worse (or can they?) in this narration of contemporary morality. Come to the Mason Community Playhouse this June 21 – 29 and laugh with us while the jokes and tests of faith crash around you.  

This fall, the Mason Community Players will continue their season with the iconic Schoolhouse Rock LIVE in September. In November, they will end their 2024 season with a true classic, The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie. Tickets are now available for all shows in the 2024 season by leaving a message at 513-398-7804 or visiting the website, www.MasonPlayers.org. This year, we continue to bring theater to the community with each show.
