Some of the highlights include Famous In The Future who has performed at all of the past 27 festivals. Rush Pearson’s performance of Nikolai Gogal’s Diary of a Madman is always a must see. Danger Circus is an exciting demonstration of juggling, magic and escape that is not to be missed. Oprah Frampton is a hysterical music duo cut from the trio of Lola Bolatro which is always a crowd pleaser. Hobo Junction will bring us An Awful Night of Crap Part 5: A-Holes Assembllleeeee!!. Some great individual performances by Eileen Tull, Larie Underwood and Maggie Wagner. The Plagiarists and The Inconvenience always bring us an exciting contribution. We are also honored with the presence of Strawdog and Raven Theatre Co.’s in the mix. Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. will for the last time bring out the staple performances of Gas Mask 101 by Arlene Cook and Wild Dogs by Matt Borczon and opening and closing ceremonies featuring Richard Cotovsky as Abbie Hoffman.

Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. was established in 1986 and is currently in its 30th full season of theater. We are committed to producing theater as an ensemble including actors, directors, and designers who are intimately involved in the process. We approach material, published and original, dealing with the fears and passions of the human condition involving characters who are often misunderstood, societal outcasts, and victims of their own exile. We have garnered a reputation for making risky choices by embracing challenging material for both our audience and the artists involved. We are dedicated to bringing light to controversial subjects and presenting alternative viewpoints of these subjects giving our audience different information to consider as they walk away from the theater.
