themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania: Enter romantic interest and the need to become legitimate. Screwball comedy erupts as Jack and Leo hatch a plot to pass themselves off as two English women to “relieve” an elderly woman of her fortune. Disastrous decisions lead to hilarious comedy worthy of Ken Ludwig, author of the equally hilarious “Lend me a Tenor." This production also marks the return of Valley award-winning director Katherine Stewart to the director’s chair. “Leading Ladies” is produced in cooperation with Samuel French, Inc.

called a "landmark musical” and went on to win the Tony Award in 1996. “Rent” is currently the 8th longest-running musical in Broadway history. MET is proud to be one of the first community theatres in the country to produce “Rent” as production rights were only recently released. Longtime local theatre actor and director now working in NYC, Phillip Fazio, takes the helm. Rent is produced in cooperation with Musical Theatre International.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day MET rolls out its celebrated annual production, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (February 5-21). This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind the enigma known as "the relationship." The revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, and to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?" “I Love You...” is the longest-running Off-Broadway show in history, and plays to sold-out theatres wherever it is produced. In addition to its enormous success, the Off-Broadway production has been the site of 50 marriage proposals. This MET show has been so popular, that this will mark its 4th consecutive production. There will be a special Valentine’s Day night performance of the show. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is produced in cooperation with R & H Theatricals.
