MCP Seeks Boys Ages 7-12 for THE MUSIC MAN

MCP_logoThe Mason Community Players are in need of boys for their summer musical, THE MUSIC MAN. If you know of any boys, ages 7-12, who would be interested, please ask them to contact me, Debbie Wesolowski, 478-3058, or by email, debtheater@gmail.com.

If they want minimal commitment, they could appear only in the final scene as a member of the boys’ band. If they wish, we would be happy to have them in the other town scenes throughout the play. The play runs July 18-21, and we are in rehearsal right now.

Thanks very much!
Debbie Wesolowski
Director

OF MICE AND MEN is Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck’s classic tale of desperation and loneliness during the Great Depression. At the fringe of society, a small group of outcasts try to find their own place in the world; a home of their own. At a time when even the wealthy and privileged felt hardship, Of Mice and Men depicts the struggle of an unlikely pair in a time when it was every man for himself. Please note that this play contains language and themes that may not be appropriate for children.

THREE MURDERS AND IT’S ONLY MONDAY
Presented by Mason Community Players
Nov. 15-18
Mason

Directed by Becca McLaughlin
Produced by Gaylene May

Cast: Jim Cronin as Harry Monday, Jon Scheiding as Dr. Morrissey, Paula Brinkman as Beatrice Smith, Shannon Mahoney as Tara Dillaise, Dan Nieman as Larramore Mandrake, Larry Catlin as Humphrey Hopkins, Melissia Gary as Lilly: Tobias, Phil Catlin as Hans the Gardner, Jason Richmond as Thunder O’Brien & Perry Gary as The Tramp

It was the kind of night when you caught yourself holding your breath for no reason at all.” So says private eye Harry Monday as he investigates three murders at the Peaceful Pines Sanitarium. In this 1940’s film noir murder mystery comedy, even the police are getting tired of coming out and ask Doctor Morrissey if he could just phone in the details. Then when Tara, a sultry soon-to-be-heiress, shows up, Harry puts his best foot forward… right in his mouth. “Odd how relatives always head up a suspect list,” he notes as the deceased’s families arrive. Odder still when he finds out they all belong to the same family!
