Mill Mountain Theatre unveiled its exciting “Season of Song” on October 6th through an event held on the Trinkle MainStage and via the theatre’s Facebook page.
In 2023, Mill Mountain Theatre is presenting a total of nine locally produced shows in the Roanoke Valley. All of the theatre’s shows are musicals, hence the name of their upcoming season.
Kickstarting MMT’s 2023 season, and returning for its seventh season, is Write Stuff! The youth playwright festival of new works. Write Stuff! Accepts submissions from local students and the selected submissions are given the opportunity to produce their original play.
Launching on the Trinkle MainStage is Jersey Boys. Jersey Boys has become a global sensation following the music and the story behind Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Mill Mountain Theatre is one of the first regional theatres in the country to produce the fan-favorite show.
The acclaimed Mill Mountain Music Series is back with The Best of Broadway which will feature beloved performers who have previously performed at Mill Mountain Theatre and some of your favorite Broadway songs from hit shows such as Wicked and songs from the renowned music maestro Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Hitting the road to a venue near you, this summer is the fun and exciting show Mad Libs Live! Which will draw lyrical inspiration from audience members. Mad Libs Live! Is a part of Mill Mountain Theatre’s literacy initiative and connects young audiences to literacy through producing a free show and distributing free books at every performance to youth audience members.
Local youth talent will shine on the Trinkle MainStage with Matilda the Musical. This musical is similar to the classic film of the same name and follows Matilda. Matilda is a young girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers.
Mill Mountain Theatre is celebrating Appalachia with Steve Martin and Edie Brickell’s Bright Star. Bright Star tells the true tale of love and redemption against the backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s. Alice Murphy, a literary editor meets a young soldier shortly after he arrived home from World War II. The young soldier awakens her longing for the child she once lost and they build an unusually haunting connection. Alice is determined to understand her dark past and has the power to transform both of their lives.
Another literary classic is traveling the region for young audiences. Mill Mountain Theatre presents Stellaluna, which will tour in the Fall across the Roanoke Valley. Stellaluna the bat, Verdi the snake, and Pinduli the Hyena all seek refreshment at a watering hole one day, only to find themselves subjects of a bullying lion’s ridicule. Through the power of friendship, this unique group discovers confidence, peace and wisdom. Stellaluna follows Mill Mountain Theatre’s literacy initiative.
Mill Mountain Theatre also announced the dates of their upcoming 2023 holiday show. However, a title was not disclosed.
“We’re producing an exciting show this Holiday Season! We can’t tell you the name yet, but we can tell you it’s got everything: singing, dancing, costumes – the works!” Said Ginger Poole, Producing Artistic Director of Mill Mountain Theatre. “Whether you’re looking for something fun to do with your family or want an exciting date night, this show has got something for everyone! Stay tuned for more details as they become available on our website and social media pages!”
Closing out Mill Mountain Theatre’s 2023 season is Charlotte’s Web, the classic book by E.B. White. Charlotte’s Web is adapted into an even more loveable musical by Joseph Robinette with ear-catching music by Charles Strouse. This literary classic tells the tale of two unlikely friends, Wilbur the pig and Charlotte, the spider. This show invites audiences to discover their irreplaceable bond of friendship.
