“This season, we look forward to allowing our actors to experience those limelight moments that put them on the edge of the stage,” said Community Theater Director Jigar Bhakta. “After directing The Wizard of Oz and taking an on-stage role with Murder on the Orient Express, I saw a huge pool of talent in our community who need to be showcased.”
Crimes of the Heart, set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, follows three sisters who have gathered to await the news of their grandfather who is living out the last hours of his life.
Yet troubling and grave, this story is somehow hilarious and touching and will linger in your mind long after the final fade-to-black. Performances: February 25 & 26 and March 4 & 5 Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is a fast-paced adventure of everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case about the mystery of “The Hound of Baskervilles.” A dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises and deceit as actors portray more than 40 actors in this detective’s tale for the ages.
Performances: July 22, 23, 29 & 30 Almost, Maine is a mythical town that is so far north, it’s almost not in the United States, and yet it’s almost Canada. The story is set on a single cold and clear Friday in the middle of winter where the northern lights hover above and Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Hearts are broken; love is lost, found and confounded; and life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same in this romantic comedy.
Performances: November 4, 5, 11 & 12 For more information, please head to https://milamcommunitytheater. com/ or email producer@milamcommunitytheater. com.
