Update: due to a rights issue, the show will be Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music.

The MAD Board has selected Stephen Sondheim’s Company as its 2023 Fall Show. We’ve applied for the rights and should hear soon. (On the off chance that it is denied, we will apply for A Little Night Music instead.) Auditions will be held August 7 and 9 from 7:00-9:00 and callbacks August 12 from 1:00-3:00 at the Goddard Visitor’s Center, so you will not need badges to attend. The Visitor’s Center is located just to the left of the Goddard Main Gate off ICESat Road. Audition materials are being made available in MAD’s member services area, https://madtheaterarchive.org/mem. Contact director Randy Barth (Randy.Barth@comcast.net) if you need the password. Eight performances are planned for the Rec Center Nov. 3-19 (Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees). Auditions favor members (employees, civil service retirees, and immediate families, plus those approved for non-voting member status), but guests may be selected if there are unfilled openings. Contact Randy if you have questions about your membership status or eligibility. All races, ethnicities, and orientations are welcome.

This NEW STAGE PLAY called “Life: The Diary of a Broken & Healed Sinner” is a 2022 drama play written, directed, and produced by Elder Chanté Thompson.

The supporting cast includes Marcus Davis, Kevin Harrison, Cornelius Wyatt, Carlton Page (CJ), Sheicka Lewis, Brandon Sterling, and Trisha Rich. The play’s story is told from inside a prison by female inmates who describe their lives (past, present, and future). One is wrongfully convicted, another a murderer, another a bank robber, and another a drug addict but don’t judge a book by its cover because underneath the surface lies the truth. They are just like you and me, except they got caught. Look within to see their pain, joy, sorrow, torment, laughter, love, and gain.
