MCT September 2006 Newsletter


Open Auditions      

The 2006 -2007 season is upon us and once again the theater needs your participation to insure another successful season. The main event this month is open auditions for all shows except One Weekend Only. Auditions will be held on Saturday, September 16 and Sunday, September 17. We encourage all interested members to audition regardless of prior experience. We have many times cast persons who have never performed before.

MCT's 2006-2007 season includes:
"You Can't Take It With You," a comedy by Moss Hart & George Kaufman, opening Nov. 16, 2006; "Goodbye Charlie," a farce by George Axelrod, opening Jan. 11, 2007; "Gigi", a musical by Lerner & Loewe, running March 1-31; and "Clouds Over the Sunshine Inn," a mini-musical written by locals, Ben Harrison & Richard Grusin, begins May 4. A synopsis of each play and character descriptions are available at the MCT box office. Call 743-0408 to pick up an audition packet.

Persons interested in auditioning need only attend one day of auditions. Or, auditioners may attend the musical portion one day and the script reading on the other day. Anyone auditioning for the musical, "Gigi," should be prepared to sing a one-minute show tune of their choice and wear comfortable shoes and clothing appropriate for the movement/dance auditions. All shows will be cast at the end of the two-day auditions.

One Weekend only - 50th Anniversary of Central High School
ONE WEEKEND ONLY The MCT annual fundraiser "One Weekend Only" is scheduled for October 20 and 21 at Key Colony Beach City Hall. "We have chosen to do something a little different this year," said Rita Irwin, creator and director of the production. "The event includes dinner and an 'interactive' class reunion/prom. Come help us celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Central High School when students and faculty from various graduating classes return for the reunion. Personal visits at your table throughout the evening will introduce you to the cast and offer a bit of their history as students as well as inform you about where they are in their life journey these many years later. Entertainment includes a talent show and an opportunity for you to vote for Prom King & Queen. Key Colony Beach City Hall, formerly the home of Marathon Community Theatre, provides an appropriate venue for a reunion. Champagne buffet begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now - $75 per person or $700 per table. Call the box office at 743-0994.
