THE MTM Players

Spend an Enchanted Evening (or afternoon) with The MTM Players as they whisk you away to The South Pacific with this beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein classic featuring Bali Hai, Younger Than Springtime, You Have to Be Taught, I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy, and of course Some Enchanted Evening. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, South Pacific follows two intercultural love stories: Nellie, a spunky Navy nurse from Arkansas, and Lieutenant Cable who both find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise.

Pianist Lew Coopersmith and violinist Burgel Zomorodi will play a sonata by Ludvig van Beethoven followed by pianist Frances Slade performing pieces by Felix Mendelssohn and Alberto Ginastera. The program continues with pianist Mina Perry playing selections by Wolfgang A Mozart and Frederic Chopin. The program concludes with pianist Rosanne Nahass performing pieces by Claude Debussy and Sergei Rachmaninoff.

The program is free and hosted by Belle Mead Friends of Music.

Complete Program (all works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart):

Symphony No. 40, K550
Violin Concerto #5, K219
Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter”, K551

“In one evening, we traverse the brilliance of Mozart’s evolution: the stormy emotional depth of Symphony No. 40, the Turkish flair and elegance of the Violin Concerto No. 5, and the staggering contrapuntal mastery of the ‘Jupiter’ Symphony — a true summit of classical genius."
— Justin Bischof, Conductor

Using both folk and classical music and dance, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company’s Dia de los Muertos explores a love story that spans the boundary between the living and the departed. A loving couple falls victim to treachery and is separated, seemingly forever. The young woman enters Mictlán- the underworld of Aztec mythology- where the mesmerizing Catrina reigns as queen.

The original concept for Dia de los Muertos was a show by Calpulli premiered in 2004 at Queens Theatre in the Park named “Tiempo de Cempazuchitl/ Time of the Marigold.” Then Artistic Director Noemy Hernandez created Calpulli’s first story-based production of “Dia de los Muertos” in 2012 premiered at the Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University. The final production of story was premiered at Queens Theatre in 2016 under the Artistic Direction of Alberto Lopez Herrera, Dramaturg and co-story writer Roberto Lara, with Music Direction by George Saenz.

This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.
