Mantorville Theatre Company - Mantorville, Minnesota

updated 05/22/13

Live Theatre! Live Audiences!

We had a great set of auditions for the summer melodrama season. Thanks to all who tried out. We look forward to a spectacular season of four of our favorite melodramas in the Historic Mantorville Opera House!

Plan now for the Premier show of our 41st season:

"Professor Pembroke's Predicament" or "A Curse Comes Home", by Gregory Miller;

plays June 14 - July 7, 2013.

Professor Pembroke and his daughter, Penny, have returned from the land of the ancients with more than they bargained for. And of course, the Professor and Penny aren't the only ones who want to put in their two-cent's worth.

Directed by Melisa Ferris, this neoclassic melodrama was penned by Mantorville native, Gregory Miller, now the artistic director of the Rochester Civic Theatre. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary by bringing back shows that our board has particularly enjoyed - - - We're sure you'll agree!

Adult tickets are just $9 and Reduced tickets are a paltry $8. Reserve tickets at (507) 635-5420, or buy tickets on line with the icon at the right, or consider our dinner and theatre options by clicking the Hubbell House logo.

NOW ACCEPTING CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS AT THE DOOR! (Cash, checks and large quantities of gold still accepted!))

We are looking for a few good people to volunteer to take tickets and host a sales table during the rest of our 2013-14 season. Contact us is you are interested.

Audience participation is a requirement for the melodramatic portion of our season. Come prepared to cheer for the hero and heroine, boo the villain or villainess, and applaud the efforts of our characters (or groan at their jokes!)
