On Tuesday evening the rain held off as we held a special event for invited guests at VOLT Restaurant.  Nearly 100 patrons, supporters & sponsors were treated to a sneak peek of our upcoming season.  After mingling on the lovely patio, noshing on delectable hors d’oeuvre and sipping tasty libations, MET Ensemble Members entertained our guests with readings from a few select scenes to whet the appetite for our exciting upcoming offerings.

As always, the MET rallies it’s performers to promote the current or upcoming show by mingling around town with the community.  Last Saturday, we had the chance to take some shots of some of the cast of Heidi as they frolicked downtown, spreading the word about the show, which opens Saturday, May 19th.  Anyone who passed by the MET had the chance to get in on some exclusive ticket discounts and also get their face painted, too!

Really Rosie with a book and lyrics by Maurice Sendak and music by Carole King, is one of our most cherished productions. The musical is based on Sendak’s books Chicken Soup with Rice, Pierre, One was Johnny, Alligators All Around (which comprise 1962′s The Nutshell Library), and The Sign on Rosie’s Door (1960). Sendak based the story on a demonstrative little girl who used to sing and dance on the stoop of her building, whom he observed while he was a little boy growing up in Brooklyn.  We loved performing it so much at the Wienberg Center the first year of our existence, that we brought it back when the Fun  Company joined forces with MET and produced it in our 2005 season!

We will miss you Maurice Sendak….
“And now,” cried Max, “let the wild rumpus start!”
