Spring is a busy time for MHT’s Education Department. With Footlights, HA! Comedy Improv Troupe, performances, and a Family Series production, we are providing quality opportunities for all ages.

Footlights
In Footlights, we are working on The Velveteen Rabbit and Pinocchio, both of which will be performed March 26 and 27 at 2:30pm and 3:30pm respectively. We are also excited to be able to offer classes for the preschool and teen crowds as well. The third session is coming up soon and we can’t wait to meet all of our friends. Check out what classes we have to offer including a teen performance class by visiting our class registration site.
Comedy Improv
HA! has a show coming up on February 25th at 7 pm on the main stage. We encourage everyone to come out and enjoy an evening of fun and laughs for the whole family! HA! is also hosting some improv game nights for students in grades 6-12 in our studio space. The first one will take place on February 12th from 7-9pm. We encourage you to register in advance via our class registration site. Admission is $10 at the door. These game nights will take place on the second Saturday of each month through May.
School Productions
MHT Education can also be seen out in our schools including at Lone Oak Intermediate where we are working on Alice in Wonderland Jr., Ballard County Elementary where they are doing a musical called 13 Colonies, Paducah Middle where groups of GTC Drama students are working on 10-minute plays and an improv show, and at Clark Elementary where all students enjoy classroom drama workshops. If you think your child’s school could benefit from a little bit of drama, feel free to reach out to me at egriffin@mhtplay.org.
Pippi Longstocking
We would also like to invite you to see our Family Series show, Pippi Longstocking, the story of a freckle faced, red-pigtailed, whirlwind of a girl in mismatched stockings. Pippi’s whimsical and silly adventures show us all the whimsical side of life in this musical, perfect for all ages!
Thank you for your continued support of Market House Theatre’s Education Department.
