ORANGEVILLE - It will be a busy season for the Mighty Richland Players Dessert Theater in Orangeville. The theater has set a full schedule of shows in the upcoming year which should please a wide range of audiences.
MRPDT's first production will be a radio show. Due to the wonderful response to their production several years ago, they are bringing back this crowd favorite. It will contain all new shows and feature specially-written commercials for local advertisers. The show will be performed March 3, 4 and 5. The theater will be transformed into a radio network sound stage where the actors will be voicing characters from favorite radio shows of the 40s and 50s. The show will be directed by Kim McIver.
On June 23, 24 and 25, the theater group will be bringing back the wonderfully funny ladies of "Harmony in Harmony Romances." Most of the original cast will be back reprising their roles. This time, the church ladies are in charge of planning Leah's wedding. She's getting married to Howard, a man she hasn't seen in years and with whom she has had only an email and telephone relationship. Between discovering a mysterious pentagram design on Howard's hand and his spastic colon flare-up, it's a race for the ladies of Harmony to get Leah to the altar.
"Self-help for Dummies" will be performed Sept. 22, 23 and 24. When a self-absorbed psychologist is late for work, the ever-growing collection of "mixed-nuts" in his waiting room begins to interact with hilarious results.
The annual Christmas Show is Nov. 25 and 26 with Sue Wichman directing. It will be filled with comedy and songs with a holiday theme. The MRPDT welcomes anyone who would like to perform or be part of the show.
All Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 each. There is a dessert intermission included in the ticket price. Performances are held in the historic Masonic Hall, 203 High St., Orangeville. Reservations are preferred and can be made by calling 815-819-1310.
