The Grass Is Always Greener at MTC School - Spring 2021
SYNOPSIS:
The Grass Is Always Greener is a new musical comprised of folktales and fairytales with their own unexpected twists. The stories in the show remind us that what we seek is never very far and sometimes it’s even in our own backyard.
SHOW DETAILS:
In order to follow the state health & safety guidelines, the cast will contain no more than 10 actors. Along with being in scenes, each actor will also get their very own solo number within the context of the show. The show will be directed by MTC Co-Founder & School Director, Jim Schilling
REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCES:
All rehearsals will take place at MTC. Larger cast rehearsals will take place outside in the parking lot. The performances will be live and in person, in MTC’s outdoor performance space.
