Did I not mention that this year would be fun-filled and action packed? And so it has been. I wish to thank the Board of MMT for all the hard work and dedication. I am especially grateful to all the unsung heroes of all our productions; the folks behind the curtains, behind the lights, the encouragement suppliers, the gofers, the doers that don’t complain but show up and just get the job done. You know who you are and so do I. My thanks.

Looking forward to seeing you all again at our Annual General Meeting to be held on June 21^st.  Please keep that date free for us and watch your emails for the time and place to be announced.

Follow your own road; the colour is what you make it.

  It's Over

Well, my official duties as Producer of  "West Side Story" came to a conclusion at the exciting Awards Night last Friday.  Thanks to everyone who came out and enthusiastically supported our show.  Congratulations to all the award recipients, but most especially congrats to the cast & crew - you all made it the huge success it was.  It was, indeed, a pleasure working with each and every one of you, and I look forward to seeing many of your faces at the Info Night for "The Wizard of Oz" this coming Friday, May 12. I have been reeled in to produce again this season, but not without a net.  I look forward to sharing the excitement with Nancy Reed and Penny Oliver.  We are pleased to welcome back the "Award Winning" team of Rob Woodcock as Director and Elizabeth Bell as Choreographer.  As for "Maria" aka Erica, she has been relegated to the "Pit" this time!  It's going to be a fabulous production!  I hope you can all join us on the journey down the "yellow brick road".

When I’m good I’m very good, but when I’m bad I’m better. 

Mae West (1892-1980)

The Scott Shepherd Memorial Award is designed to honour Scott's memory. Scott was a man who had a natural love of the theatre and was willing to assist whenever and wherever needed throughout a production – on stage or backstage and with all of the theatre groups.  Scott offered his help unconditionally.

Presented to    Sarah Scholl – Emerging;  Lori Koenen – Established
