MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, THE PLAY
Adapted by Mountain Community Theater from the novel by Valentine Davies.
Based upon the Twentieth Century Fox motion picture Miracle on 34th Street.
Directed by Daria E. Troxell
“This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really.” So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story about Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, who gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s. Kris unleashes waves of goodwill by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing that tests one little girl’s belief in Santa. This MCT staple has delighted SLV families for over 40 years.

Steel Magnolias
By Robert Harling
Directed by Peter Gelblum
The basis for the Academy Award-nominated film starring Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts, this bittersweet comedy explores the dynamics of life, love, friendship, and loss in a small-town Louisiana beauty parlor. Truvy, the outspoken owner, dispenses shampoos and free advice to her clients, who gather each week to talk, gab, gossip, needle, and, above all, laugh (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”). And then, when tragedy strikes, the friends gather to cry, comfort, support, and repair each other. These women are true steel magnolias: southern belles who are flowery on the outside but strong enough on the inside to survive any challenge, particularly when they stick together. Ultimately, this hilarious and moving play reminds us that friendship and life are precious gifts to celebrate.
May 16-June 8

The Addams Family
Book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based on Characters Created by Charles Addams
Directed by Daria E. Troxell
In the upside-down world of The Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff that dreams are made of. The clan has lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the family, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Nonetheless, this eccentric family still has to deal with many of the same challenges any other family faces: their kids are growing up. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter, Wednesday, is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family. To make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.
Nov. 21-Dec. 14
