What is Summer Mummers?

Summer Mummers is a live show performed on the stage of the Historic Yucca Theatre in Downtown Midland every Fri and Sat during the summer. The show is currently running and will conclude for the season Sat Sep 5th. The show starts at 8pm so you want to get there a bit early to get something to drink and some popcorn for throwing. All seats are reserved so you can get there a bit early and check out the Yucca theatre and the Summer Mummer Experience! The Yucca theatre is something to see itself. Completed in 1929 it's architecture has an Assyrian themed movie palace look. Featuring gilded lotus columns on either side of the proscenium arch on the stage and a pair of Lamassu on each side of the lower organ loft, representing a "stylized" pair who guarded the entrance to the throne room of King Sargon II's palace at Dur-Sharrukin (modern-day Khorsabad, Iraq). A lamassu is a protective spirit, ours are shown as a composite being with the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird. When viewed from the side, the creature appears to be walking; when viewed from the front, to be standing still. The show itself is a melodrama augmented with a locally shot and produced movieola

The second part of the show is the Olio! And while the Olio is pretty slick, it should not be confused with the oleo used on your bread. Ours is a collection of short skits and songs designed to engender the greatest of enjoyment from a "seasoned" crowd of Mummers. (its a variety show with a beautiful card girl, equally attractive dancing ladies, and many other local talents) The show is live and geared toward a fun loving crowd. (show is for adults, no one under 16 is recommended) Show runs from 8 pm to approximately 11:30 pm this year. Depending on . . . well many things. Just as the best parties are never fully scripted Mummers is a slightly different show each night.
