Incorruptibles - September 2004:

Directed by Dan Authier with assistance from John Taylor.  (View Show Photos)

The season got off to a great start with Michael Hollinger's "Incorruptibles".  The morally challenged monks included Bill Fuller departing from his usual sweet self to play a sarcastic cynic; Dwight Proper, Josh Bow, and as the abbot, Gary Yaeger.  On the distaff side Sarah Spencer was the type of nun that Catholic school nightmares are made of.  Jill Hyatt was an especially friendly peasant girl, and Debbie Ormston was her mother.  Making his first appearance on the MCT stage, Lee Tillottson was Jack the minstrel -- a rogue beloved by all but his mother-in-law.

Dwight Proper received the Pop Kear Award and Debbie Ormston received the Bob Beck Teck Award.

Rocky Horror Show - October 2004:

Directed by Brian Custard and Joanne Helides.     (View Show Photos)

Will Meadville ever be the same?  Will those who attended the show ever get the confetti out of their ears?  A truly unique theatre going experience was born in splendor on the MCT stage in the form of the "Rocky Horror Show".  Directors Brian Custard and Joanne Helides worked hard to bring this excellent production to life.  It was so good to see sell-out crowds in the theatre even if some of them were slightly odd and others were thinking "This sure isn't Fiddler on the Roof!"  Jim Parker as "That sweet transvestite" from Transylvania headed the great cast.  Getting soaked down every night as Brad and Janet were Mitch Micosky and Melissa Pavlek.  Glenn Tuttle (Riff Raff), Jenny Glover (Columbia) and Darla Thompson (Magenta), Frank'n'furter's minions, had a number of like-dressed admirers in the audience.  For the ladies, the peak moment each night was the unveiling of Rocky (Kirk Nessett).  Dan Authier as Eddie earned a purple heart for a motorcycle stunt that was scrapped after one rehearsal.  Brian Thummler terrifically bored us all as the narrator (a good thing!).  Then there were the Transy's in all their card-throwing, glove snapping glory - Jim Shryock, Pam Micosky, Carol Tamburrino and Janet Wood.  And last, but certainly not least, was Bill Fuller's high stepping dance across stage as Dr. Scott, Brad and Janet's mentor, who gets in touch with his feminine side. 

Bill Fuller received the Pop Kear Award and Mitch Micosky got the Bob Beck Tech Award.

Of Mice and Men - March 2005:

Directed by Tom Hall.       (Show Photos)

Set on a ranch in the Salinas Valley in California during the Great Depression of the 1930's, George and Lennie are two migrant agricultural workers on a California ranch who share a dream of owning their own farm someday.  They take jobs at a ranch where their hopes are at first raised but then destroyed by a tragic accident.  Steinbeck, the playwright, depicts George and Lennie as two innocents whose dream conflicts with the realities of a world dominated by materialism and greed.  Their extraordinary friendship distinguishes them from other hopeless and migrant farm workers.

Morning's at Seven - May 2005:

Directed by Debbie Ormston .          (Show Photos)

This charming and sweetly funny portait of early twentieth century small-town America has stockpiled three Tony Awards and ten nominations during its three Broadway runs.  The four Gibb sisters have made their homes side by side forever, husbands in tow.  They know all too much about each other, intimately bound by their quaint quirks and long history together.  Now in their autumn years, the sisters feel the winds of change gently rustling their settled lives, stirred up by the surprise engagement of a long-time bachelor son.
