Coronavirus
Due to the onset of the Coronavirus, we have been forced to cancel our production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel planned for July. We are pleased to be able to report, however, that the production has now been rescheduled for three weekends next July.
Drive-Thru Drama is a social-distance theater format that brings people together for live theater from the comfort of their own cars. Actors will perform one cohesive story through short solos, each approximately two minutes, across the MCC parking lot. Audience members will simply roll down their windows and drive the route from actor to actor.
The Alden presents the debut performance of Small Change, written and directed by Andrew Scott Zimmer, a new work commissioned by The Alden.
Small Change follows the travels of a $1 bill as it journeys through time and space, interacting with different lives, and leaving its mark on the world.
Information about auditions is now available on the MCC website.
Priority casting is for those who live in, work in or go to school in the MCC Tax District. Anyone can audition.

In Memoriam: Robert Ames Alden
MCP and its predecessors have produced 120 shows at the Alden Theatre in the McLean Community Center. The theater was an idea of Bob Alden, who helped get the Community Center started.
From the McLean Community Center:
[The] "theatre was named for Mr. Alden, and not for the usual reasons buildings are named for people. He didn't make a big donation in exchange for the naming rights; he made a big difference. If it weren't for Mr. Alden, there would be no McLean Community Center and no Alden Theatre..." And no McLean Community Players, we must add.
