During this time of social distancing, MCS had been working hard on finding a way to bring our usual performances to our audience! We have pivoted to online performances and have been able to record a few! Check out our recorded performances below:
Virtually Theatre - June 8th, 2020
We are proud to bring you this short play reading of Virtually Theatre by Debbie Wiess. It is an honest and humorous piece that explores what the future of theatre might be after COVID-19.
Because of the virtual nature of this performance, we were able to work with actors from all over the world. The cast of this play zoomed in from San Diego, London, and Ireland!
Debbie Wiess is a fantastic playwright who grew up in Lexington. We will be having her back next season to do a reading if her play A Revolutionary Encounter in London - A play about Ben Franklin and Phillis Wheatley's meeting during her visit to London in the summer of 1773.
