Great songs include: Why Can't You Behave, Tom, Dick or Harry, So In Love, Wunderbar, Too Darn Hot. This masterpiece won the first Tony Award presented for Best Musical.

1776 Starring Deb Bluford & an all-girl cast! Aug 12-29
An all female cast? MTH breaks new ground. Sometimes a new voice can bring new meanings to old stories. This story is about how much work and courage it took to get everyone off their "arses" to break it off with England. Sherman Edwards, developed lyrics and libretto for this insightful musical on the real struggle to write our Declaration of Independence.

A Spectacular Christmas Dec. 2-23
Now in its third year, A Spectacular Christmas will feature a sackful of classic holiday songs. It's funny, it's heartfelt, it's sentimental and it's Christmastime. This is an original show written by MTH that has a lot of fun with our best-loved local performers. "hip...by turns wacky and poignant...serious fun" ~ Robert Trussell
