Merry Wives of Windsor – July 9 – 18 at 5:30 pm
by W. Shakespeare
The first production of the year for MPP’s brilliant teenagers!

EVERYTHING IS ROSIE
SPECIAL EVENT
Everything is Rosie tells the story of Rosemary Clooney’s rise to top of the Billboard charts in the 50’s, her success in Hollywood in films like WHITE CHRISTMAS followed by her mental breakdown, and finally her triumphant return to the top of the jazz charts in the 80’s and 90’s. It is a compelling story of heartbreak, tragedy, perseverance, and triumph. As Wendy takes the audience on a riveting trip through Rosemary’s life, she interweaves some of Rosemary’s most beloved hits such as “Come On A My House”, “Half as Much”, “Hey There”, and Tenderly” as well as songs from her movie musicals including WHITE CHRISTMAS and jazz standards by composers such as George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Harold Arlen

Taught in person on the Mainstage
Why should the kids have all the fun this summer? In this new class – for adults! – instructor Tom Chalmers covers the spirit and techniques involved in creating and performing physical comedy.
