On July 10, 1969, the lights came up on My Fair Lady, and it is only fitting that this season open with this wonderful show. The Lerner & Loewe classic is the endearing Pygmalion story with an inimitable score than includes "I Could Have Danced All Night, On the Street Where You Live, Get Me to the Church on Time."

Seven guys + seven girls = one delightful show that's a rambunctious, rousing good time! There's high-stepping hijinks from start to finish, with lusty dancing and sweet, happy songs such as "Goin' Courtin', Sobbin' Women, Bless Your Beautiful Hide."

One Singular Sensation! The record-setting Broadway hit is the ultimate theatre show, filled with emotion, candor, exceptional dancing, and stunning personal songs: "At the Ballet, Music and the Mirror, Dance 10 Looks 3, What I Did for Love." The show thrilled audiences in its first Mac-Haydn presentation -- do you remember what year that was?

This powerful and romantic new telling of the classic, touching story was a marvel when we presented the area premiere in our 25th anniversary season. What better time to bring back the glorious music, the soaring, lilting, and moving songs such as "Melodie of Paris, Home, You Are My Own, You Are Music" than to celebrate our 40th year?

Get ready to tilt your hat, snap your gum and spin your rope in this follies-style spectacular filled with the wit, wisdom, and one-of-a-kind humor of the famous entertainer, toe-tapping dancing, and happy, tuneful songs: "Will-A-Mania, No Man Left For Me, It's a Boy, Look Around."

The delightful family favorite that ended our 1969 season. Rodgers & Hammerstein's enduring classic will charm you all over again, from the uplifting title song to the last soaring notes of "Climb Every Mountain." The amazing true story is filled with hum-along songs: "The Sound of Music, Do-Re-Mi, Lonely Goatherd, 16 Going on 17."

MHT II Productions presents ...
To make the Ruby Jubilee 40th Anniversary season extra special, The Mac-Haydn Theatre has planned a special extra show at the end of the summer season. High School Musical will etend summer into September, playing from the 4th to the 14th.
Popular with all ages, the show is a favorite of teenagers, with music and dancing that they can especially enjoy. High School Musical features Troy and Gabrielle, who meet on a New Year's trip, and are surprised to see each other again at Troy's high school, where Gabrielle has just enrolled. The plot touches on many high school situations, including having to make choices in what teens really want most to do: play basketball or be in the school musical, go with the "in" crowd or be themselves.
The score, which most teens can probably sing by heart, includes "Start of Something New, Get'cha Head in the Game, Breaking Free," and "We're All in This Together."
Please note special performance times and ticket prices for High School Musical:
September 4-7 and 11-14
