Mesabi Musical Theatre plans The Play That Goes Wrong
VIRGINIA—Mesabi Musical Theatre will bring “theatrical chaos and physical comedy” to the stage this December with The Play That Goes Wrong, the organization’s first non-musical production. MMT has entertained Iron Range audiences for more than 20 years, starting with its first production, Guys and Dolls, performed at Eveleth-Gilbert High School in 2002. Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, December 2-5, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, December 6, at Minnesota North College’s Virginia campus, 1001 Chestnut St., Virginia. The December production brings MMT back to Virginia following performances in Hibbing and marks director Jack Gritzmacher’s return to stage directing after a five-year hiatus. A partnership with Minnesota North College also brings eight college students into the production as performers, technical crew members and stagehands. Tickets are on sale now at mesabimusical.ludus.com. Prices are $28 for adults and $25 for students and seniors. The production will use reserved seating, and advance online purchases are strongly encouraged. Limited seats will be available at the door. --- About the show Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, the Olivier Award-winning comedy follows the Cornley University Drama Society’s disastrous opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor.
