MACT

by Peter Shaffer Directed by Duck Washington Meet Lettice Duffet: expert on Elizabethan cuisine, enthusiast of medieval weaponry, lover of history, and the ever flamboyant (and popular) tour guide at Fustian House. Meet Lotte Schon: lover of rules, upholder of order, and straightlaced inspector from the Preservation Trust. When Lettice theatrically “embellishes” the historical past of Fustian House, Schon calls her into her office….which triggers an unlikely beginning to an unlikely friendship.

book by Joe DiPietro music by Jimmy Roberts lyrics by Joe DiPietro This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum know as “the relationship.” Through sketches and songs, Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

book by Timothy Crouse & John Weidman music & Lyrics by Cole Porter A hilarious shipboard romp wrapped in one of Cole Porter’s most magical scores. Music, dance, laughs and the age-old tale of boy meets girl… Anything Goes is delightful, delicious and de-lovely.

Lyrics by: Tim Rice Music by: Andrew Lloyd Webber What’s the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

book by Michael Frayn Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

book by Oscar Wilde directed by Greg Bastien Lady Windermere, a young, seemingly perfect aristocratic woman, is on the verge of making a drastic decision due to a scandalous secret from her past, which is revealed by a mysterious woman named Mrs. Erlynne. But Lady Windermere is in for a big surprise!

On eight Sundays during the year, there’s a little bit of magic in Montgomery, Minnesota. Early in the afternoon, a two-story brick building with “1892” inscribed near the peak of its roof opens its doors, and the aroma of fresh buttered popcorn beckons from the second story. Music and laughter echo throughout the vintage concert hall as musicians rehearse and patrons begin to stroll in and claim seats. Promptly at 4 p.m., the fun begins. Led by proprietor John Grimm, a troupe of performers gathers on stage to join in a lively theme song during which members are introduced. For the next two hours, guests enjoy a diverse mix of music and entertainment ranging from popular standards to concert hall classics; from goofy comedy and colorful costumes to inspirational gospel and harmonic collaborations. At intermission, fresh piping-hot pizza from Pizzeria 201 is available for two bucks a slice, served with friendly smiles at “Shannon’s Snack Bar” (the kitchenette at the back of the hall). Performances for 2025 will be: March 30 April 27 May 18 June 29 August 31 September 28 October 26 November 30
