join us to laugh all the while as you visit the world of “The Foreigner” and remember when we could laugh at evil, question-mongering soreheads, and “turn the other cheek” on mean-spirited rebels. Plucky people of goodwill could confront wickedness and put it to flight. All it took, according to the gospel of Larry Shue, was goodwill, solidarity, romance, a trap door and a croquet mallet -- with a bit of dynamite for the cleanup detail.

A modern retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story maps the collision course of two feuding New York City street gangs – the Jets and the Sharks – and the young lovers caught in the crossfire. With music by the legendary creative team of Arthur Laurents (librettist), Leonard Bernstein (composer) and Stephen Sondheim (lyricist), West Side Story features some of Broadway’s most beloved music including, “Soemewhere,” “One Hand, One Heart,” “Tonight,” “America” and “Maria.” In addition to winning two Tony Awards and the Academy Award for Best Picture, West Side Story became one of the most successful shows ever produced on Broadway.

About MCP
Our Mission The Marshall Civic Players exist to provide enjoyable and gripping live theatre to the community though stage plays and musicals that excel in every aspect of theatrical production.
The Marshall Civic Players is a group of really odd people who enjoy entertaining others. Artisans hone their improvisational skills in stagecraft to construct the sets, costumes and soundscapes that are the hallmark of an MCP productions. But all of this does not happen on its own, as if by the laws of physics each dust particle coelesced with its neighbor to ultimately form a cohesive entity. No, the Marshall Civic Players are keenly guided by a working Board of Directors that is elected from the membership.
Board meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at the Franke Center. Please contact the president if you have an item you would like put on the agenda.
