Mohonk Mountain Stage Company

Raw, powerful, visceral.
Sweet, tender, quiet.
Rowdy, funny, bawdy.

It's the energy that draws you forward in your seat.
It's the pulse that makes you engage.
It's the spark that makes you think.


 
MMSC Prologue
Spring 2012



Greetings!

It seems that spring has sprung a little early this year! And while we are enjoying this beautiful spring weather, we are also entering our final rehearsals for Geoffrey Nauffts' Tony-nominated "smart, sensitive, immensely appealing and utterly contemporary New York comedy" (New York Times), Next Fall. Ironic, isn't it? Enjoying this spring while rehearsing Next Fall? It opens this Friday and runs for two weekends. Read more about it below.


Got those dates saved, March 23 & 24 and March 30 & 31?
Tha
t's Next Fall at Unison Arts in New Paltz.

Binoculars


So, let's grab our binoculars and take a peek at some of our future adventures.


Scroll all the way down to the bottom of this email for our "off the stool productions." Get out your dance card and fill us in. Save these dances for us.



 



We are happy to report that we had a ball at the Newburgh campus of OCC last week doing an encore performance of our Just For Laughs program. They have asked us back for spring 2013 and they are requesting, wait for it, our favorite red dog. That's right, Sylvia!

And, we have been invited to perform at a very special benefit in mid-September 2012. They have requested our readers' production of WIT. Stay tuned for more details.

As always, we love to hear from you. So, let us know what's on your mind. Write to us at info@mmstageco.com.

  Looking forward to seeing each of you.

Save A Seat for...

Hudson Valley Premiere

Next Fall
by Geoffrey Nauffts
  • Tony Award Nominee - Best Play
  • Outer Critics Circle Award - Best New American Play
  • Pulitzer Prize for Drama - Nominee     

"Ample heart and snappy humor... speaks in a quiet voice of momentous things." - New York Times

 

Two men in love, two parents in denial, two friends on speed dial.  

 

Luke believes in God.  Adam believes in everything else.  Next Fall takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love.  

 

Hilarious and heartbreaking, it exposes the fundamental truth that we love people both because of - and in spite of - who they are.

 

Bring someone you care about, take a deep breath, and enjoy this "artful, thoughtful and very moving" (New York Times) new drama.
