Green Room Renovation

2009-03-22T11:07:00.002-05:00

Staci LaPlante and Skeet Doss have been working hard on renovating the "Green Room" and "Downstairs Dressing rooms at the Yucca" .

Staci has been working for about 2 years now on plans for a complete remodel and Skeet has been busy this past year getting money to do the job. Due to generous cash donations from Summer Mummer volunteers and supporters Skeet has informed us that we now have the money and work is to commence immediately to renovate the entire area. These renovations are to be complete before the show this year. And may actually be ready for other shows that rent the Yucca. If you see Staci or Skeet be sure and thank them for all their hard work. This is a project that is sure to be enjoyed by all.

The New Curtain

2008-06-07T09:26:00.014-05:00

The 59th season of SummerMummers was the retirement year for the curtain painted by Art Cole. The original curtain was installed when the mummers moved to the Yucca Theatre. It complemented the set built by Bill Larkin in 1981.

The iconic curtain style will be carried on in the new one painted this year by set designer Eric Beek. The ads were hand painted by Duryn Sandburg, Marcy Sandburg, Laura Abbott, Tiffany Henley, Connie Barnes, and others.

mel-o-dra-ma (mel'r-dram'r [local pronunciation]): n 1 a: a work (as a movie or play) characterized by extravagant theatricality and by the predominance of plot and physical action over characterization [Webster's Dictionary definition

The Melodrama is a unique theatrical experience, invented in the USA. Nobody does it quite as uniquely as The Summer Mummers, the oldest existing organization of its kind in the country. The Summer Mummers provide their own brand of entertainment to thousands of patrons each summer, while providing the Midland Community Theatre (MCT) with a substantial portion of their yearly operating budget.

The Summer Mummers are an all-volunteer group. From the producers and directors to the popcorn sellers, each and every one is there giving of their time and energy to help out. Of course the fact that they have a great time makes it something that keeps them coming back, many of them for decades!
