Congrats to Pat, Rick and John

Three of The T Plays 2010 have been selected to be part of The Boston Theater Marathon this May.  Pat Gabridge's Escape to Wonderland (Blue Line); Rick Park's Birdbaths, Twilight and Other Sundry Topics (Red Line); and John J King's M. Riverside (Green Line) will all be part of the 50 plays performed on May 21, 2011.  We are pleased as punch that this is the case.  And it continues a fine tradition.  Three T Plays from our first round of plays made the Marathon two years ago.  It's nice that these plays get a second chance to be seen in Boston. 

A Life's Work at Wellesley

Mill 6 friend Marc Harpin (Bunbury) has a new play that is being read Monday March 28th at Wellesley Theater.

"A Life's Work."

It's a full-length comedy about how people build and hold on to their families in the face of societal pressures.


Nora Hussey at Wellesley Summer Theatre, the Equity company-in-residence at Wellesley College, has kindly offered to host the reading in the Barstow Stage in Alumni Hall at Wellesley at 7:00PM on Monday, March 28th. The reading is free.
We have a terrific cast including: Danny Bolton,* John Davin,* Lisa Foley,* Christine Hamel,* Eric Hamel, and Charlotte Peed.*

Monster Tales Performance Schedule

This spring's production of The Monster Tales brings a number of changes to how Mill 6 has put together shows.  For example this show will have an intermission.  You would have to go back to 2005 and Sean Michael Welch's Trojan Whore to find the last time we took a break of 12-15 minutes mid show.  Another large change is we will be performing this show in rep with Whistler in the Dark's production of Aunt Dan and Lemon.  This means that we will be alternating performances.  And while it may make our schedule a little more confusing at first, it does allow us to run for four weekends something we haven't done since Cafe Society in 2000.  One of the most common critiques I've received about our shows is that the runs are too short.  Hopefully this performance schedule will allow more folks to attend.  Plus we'll be offering some price incentives for people to see both shows.  We will be posting the full schedule on our website once it is updated but for now for all of you who like to plan things well in advance here are the days and times Monster Tales will be performing:

Sat April 30 - opening night 8:00PM




Thurs May 5 - 7:30 PM

Sat May 7 - 8:00 PM

Sun May 8 - 3:00 PM



Wed May 11 - 7:30 PM

Scenes from the T Plays

Thanks to Meg Taintor we have many wonderful photos from The T Plays 2010.  Here are a few we'd like to share.  As a character once said "Thanks, Meg."

And the Audience Favorite for the T Plays 2010

is Green.  John J King's play M. Riverside with Nate Gundy and Forrest Walter are the proud recipients of the (blank) - there is still time to vote on the name for the award (see poll at left).  This year's voting was very close with only 7 votes separating the top three.  And sinlge votes separating the some of the other four.  We will be posting some photos soon (Thanks, Meg) and will have the vote percentages.  Thanks to all the artists involved and to all the audience who attended.  The T Plays will return.....
