Kid's Workshops
Does your child have an interest in drama and the arts? Did he really enjoy being part of the school pageant? Does she get excited about performing in skits at church? Monticello Theatre Association is interested in helping your child explore their creative side during the MTA Children's Summer Workshop.

His sister Veta and his niece Myrtle Mae are frustrated in their attempts to help Myrtle Mae break into society and meet men, because Elwood insists on introducing everyone to Harvey. Veta finally agrees to commit Elwood for treatment at Dr. Chumley’s sanitarium. But things don’t work out exactly as planned.

Cochran Keating's The Holiday Hotel
What happens when an entertainment troupe's bus becomes snowbound on Christmas Eve? If the performers can't find rooms for the night, they will certainly freeze on the bus. There is a nearby hotel with vacancies, but the troupe is penniless! Can they convince the hotelier to give them rooms at no charge? The answer lies in the power of a young girl's warmth and an old man's empty dreams. The Holiday Hotel is a heartwarming Christmas musical that the whole family will love.
