2015-2016 Season
Wilder One Acts, By Thornton Wilder
Arranged by Brian Schipper
A carefully curated examination of Thornton Wilder’s one-act plays, complete with original dramaturgy by Brian Schipper.
This thoughtful evening examined Wilder’s artistic inspirations from Japanese theater to minimalism, and his preoccupation with unfinished works that “you simply must choose to end because they can go on forever.”
A Mighty Corson Christmas
A first of it’s kind (at MCAP) winter show. A variety show and Christmas carol sing-along that paved the way for our three-show season.
Made by the Mighty Corson community for the Mighty Corson community and the start of something new.
37 Postcard, by Michael McKeever
After years of traveling abroad, Avery Sutton is happy to return to the comfort of his home in Connecticut. Unfortunately, almost nothing is as he remembered it. The entire house is tilted at a distinct angle, the dog hasn't been fed in five years, and Avery's Grandmother, who everyone thought was dead, is still alive and kicking. Forced to either accept the oddities of his family, or leave them behind, 37 Postcards suggests that you can, in fact, go home again... You just never know what you're going to find.
"McKeever's writing illuminates not only insightful wit, but a disarming poignancy that, while poking fun at this dysfunctional family, also reveals a well-thought-out and emotional resonance."
George Capewell, Backstage
"Moving and real."
Alvin Klein, New York Times
"If you want some laughs mixed with warmth, love and familial devotion, do not miss this play."
Buddy Clarke, Entertainment News and Views
"What can possibly top this show?"
Kim Cool, Venice Gondolier
