The show tells the story of how three friends’ lives and friendship change over 20 years; it focuses particularly on Franklin Shepard, a talented composer of musicals who, over those 20 years, abandons his friends and songwriting career to become a producer of Hollywood movies. Like the play on which it is based, the show’s story moves backward in time. It begins in 1976 at the friends’ lowest moment and ends in 1957, at their youthful best.

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.

based on the 7th book in L. Frank Baum’s Oz series
directed by Eliot Malumuth
produced by Jenna Jones-Paradis

The Patchwork Girl of Oz is a musical adventure story set in the marvelous land of Oz. While trying to create a servant for himself, Dr. Pipt sprinkles his “Powder of Life” on a patchwork quilt doll and voila!

Scraps – a bubbly and brassy young girl with no intention of being his slave – comes to life.

Scraps and her Munchkin friend, Ojo the Unlucky, set off to collect the ingredients needed to revive Ojo’s uncle who has been accidentally turned into a statue. It’s a journey of understanding – of self, of the wonders of Oz, and of the world around us.
