MTA preps for upcoming season
Staff Report ~ 7/8/2010

Musical Theatre of Anthem’s (MTA) 2010 -11 season is filled with full-scale musicals with a variety of styles. The season line-up includes “Jungle Book KIDS” and “Once on this Island Jr.” rehearsing at the same time (late summer/early fall).
Also included in MTA’s Season is the international hit, “Peter Pan” done as a combined age production for ages 7-adult. Hammond says that she is thrilled that Anthem will have the excitement of seeing people “fly.” She is planning on hiring a rig crew (the same crew that flies performers in Broadway Productions and National Tours), so that Peter Pan can be as authentic and exciting to watch as possible. After selling out MTA’s run of The Wizard of Oz, she wanted to bring another huge show for the Anthem Community to enjoy.
Closing out the season will be, “Honk Jr.,” the story of The Ugly Duckling. MTA will also be including a show with professional performing adults (ages 15-adult).
MTA has two age ranges for productions: the no-cut Jr. MTA Productions welcome performers ages 7-14, and the MTA Productions are for those ages 15-adult.
