Ghost of A Tuna Christmas Past

Just a year ago I got to to wear a wig and a muumuu and work with the great Sean Orlosky! Oh, happy days!

 

Good Night, Sweet Prince

Muncie Civic Theatre’s production of I Hate Hamlet closed this past Sunday after a limited run. Unfortunately with precautions concerning the coronavirus taking effect, the performances for our second weekend had to be cancelled. We had a wonderful opening weekend and it’s a shame we couldn’t share the show with our second weekend’s audiences, but, as a great author once wrote, so it goes.

Being part of the cast of I Hate Hamlet has been an extremely fun experience and I truly treasure the opportunity I had to bring to life this fantastic comedy with a group of amazing, talented people. It is always a joy to share a stage with Debby Girtman, Sean Orlosky and Katy Wolfe! It was also a great pleasure to meet and work with Cameron Bowen and Ashley Pilmore for the first time!

Thank you to Michael Kleeberg, Pat Kleeberg, and Maude Jennings for their excellent direction and guidance! More thanks to Larry Beck for setting the standard for what a great stage manager does and thank you to Donna McFadden for being our one woman crew!

Hopefully, there will be many more opportunities to work with you dear people again and again and again!

Finally a big thank you to all the folks who attended our three shows and to all the folks who wanted to see our final three. We appreciate your support and your patronage!

The Guys

The courage and dedication of a group of firefighters on an indelible day in American history comes to the forefront in Anne Nelson's play based on the events of September 11, 2001. The Guys tells the story of Joan, an editor looking to find her bearings in the wake of the tragedy, and Nick, a fire captain struggling with the memories of the men he has lost. Together, they find the words to memorialize a group of ordinary guys... and a band of heroes... while finding comfort and strength in each other. 

By turns wistful, comic and heartfelt, The Guys is a powerful piece of theatre and a bode of thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.

The play will be performed at The Pub Theater at The Heorot (215 S. Walnut St., Muncie IN 47305) on September 8, 9 and 15th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for these performances are $10. All Active Emergency Personnel will be admitted free with proper identification.

Our final performance will be at The Murpah Shrine Club (3671 N. Shrine Dr., Muncie IN 47303) on September 16th at 7:30 p.m. A 6:00 p.m. dinner will be served at this performance only. Tickets for this performance are $15. All Active Emergency Personnel will be admitted free with proper identification. A portion of the tickets sales from this performance will go to the Muncie Firefighters Donation Fund.

The Guys is rated PG-13 for some language and adult themes. Please call (765) 741- 0591 to reserve your tickets today.
