SPRING SHOW

The Frog Prince of Spamalot

Director Jake Gustine

Asst Director Jared Bartholomew

Stage Manager Rebecca Couch

Hyronomous A. Frog doesn’t quite fit in among the other frogs in the bog.  He’s incredibly large compared to the others and hates the taste of flies!  When he meets Gloria the Good Witch, he learns he must be kissed by a maiden to break the curse that turned him from a prince into a frog.  In a hysterical scene, our frog-legged friend learns how to walk like a human and sets off for Spamalot, where he finds the spoiled and petulant Princess Gladiola and her sisters.  Gladiola and her painfully pompous fiancé, Sir Lancelot Pancelot, despise the frog and stop at nothing to get rid of him.  Meanwhile, our green hero tries desperately to fit in among the royal household.  With his failed attempts at proper dinner etiquette, a hilarious scene ensues.  Luckily, Hyronomous finds a friend in Delphinium the handmaiden who does her best to save him from the slings and arrows of outrageous Gladiola and Pancelot.  When it seems all is lost for our beloved frog, he finally gets his kiss, bringing about a ribbiting...  er, riveting...  heart-warming finale!

WINTER SHOW

A Seussified Christmas Carol

by Peter Bloedel

Director Carrie Moore

Stage Managers MCT Troupe

A whimsical reinvention of Dickens' most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with -- if he ever had his way with the story...​​
