Mason Community Players presents Escanaba in da Moonlight

The Mason Community Players is the oldest continually operating community theater organization in Warren County, OH. The group operates and performs at the Mason Community Playhouse, located at 5529 Mason Rd. in Mason, OH. This year the group celebrates 50 years of “play-ing around” with a year long jubilee and shows that highlight five decades of entertainment.

This September, the Mason Community Players will present a hilarious insight into a male rite of passage with Escanaba in da Moonlight. Meet the men of the Soady family, who prefer to remain nestled in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There, they spend their time drinking, bagging bucks, and teasing the youngest member of the Soady clan, Reuben, who at 35 years has never bagged a buck of his own. Come visit the Soady cabin and watch a few Yoopers where laughter fires like shots through the woods. See if they find the answer to the age old question, does the buck stop here?

Performances will be at 8:00 p.m. on September 8, 9, 14, 15 & 16, with a matinee performance at 2:00 p.m. on September 10th.
Following Escanaba in da Moonlight, the jubilee celebration concludes with Gender Bender 5.0, a musical review to be performed in October, and November. Tickets are now available for both shows by leaving a message at 513-398-7804 or visiting the website, www.MasonPlayers.org.

Since its creation in 1973, the Mason Community Players has brought more than 120 productions and 30 original musical reviews to audiences in Mason, Ohio. More importantly, the group has become a family for the community, involving people of all ages on stage, backstage, and as spectators. “From our family to yours, we celebrate 50 years of making it possible for everyone to enjoy theater.”
