About Mountain Community Theater Presents: "The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild"
Mountain Community Theater proudly presents The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Zindel and directed by Erik Gandolfi, who most recently directed Jewel Theatre’s acclaimed production of Doubt. This zany, touching story takes you into the tiny living quarters behind the Greenwich Village candy store that Mildred operates with her husband. Crowded with her forty-year collection of movie magazines, Mildred has virtually escaped from reality into the dream world conjured up by the 3,000 movies she has eagerly devoured. When the outside world intrudes via her husband’s meddling sister, their hard-boiled landlady, the mincing butcher from next door, and the foreman of the wrecking crew sent to tear down the condemned building, Mildred meets each crisis with a hilarious fantasy scene drawn from her precious lode of old movies.
As the action moves swiftly ahead to its delightfully unpredictable climax, Mildred’s life is further complicated by such unlikely visitors as a bulldozer, a nun, King Kong, and a super-efficient TV camera crew, all adding to the merriment and, ultimately, to the poignancy which infuses the play and the touching, funny escapades of its kooky, lovable and totally enchanting heroine.?
Performances will be at Ben Lomond’s Park Hall, 9400 Mill St., from Friday, October 2, through Sunday, October 25. Friday and Saturday evening performances are at 8:00 p.m., Sunday matinee performances are October 11, 18 and 25 at 2:00 p.m.
Join us for a champagne reception opening night and a special Talkback with the Director and Cast after the October 11 matinee. Admission is $20 General, $17 Students and Seniors.
