Join Marsh Youth Theater as MainStage Summer creates an original musical theater production based on Mark Twain’s brilliant, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg. What happens when a mysterious stranger abandons a sack of gold in the midst of a respectable town of model citizens? Chaos, of course! MYT students will bring Twain’s story up-to-date by creating their own script, dances, music and sets to portray Twain’s satirical story of honesty, greed and treachery.
MainStage Summer is a three-week workshop taught by professional artists. Students rotate through classes of drama, music, dance, set construction and electives.
The multi-disciplinary nature of the program allows each child to shine both behind the scenes and on stage. Students develop a strong ensemble that fosters self-confidence and lasting friendships. This workshop culminates in two performances of a spectacular show for family and friends.
