MPP’s funniest, most-original and most-FREE show has been getting RAVES!

Closing out our Summer Season is the fantastic 16 Years Tried, or Let Time’s News Be Known, by Travis Lowe.
Hot on the heels of MPP’s hit “The Winter’s Tale” comes this original, world-premiere take on that work. Penned by local playwright (and MPP regular) Travis Lowe, “16 Years Tried” presents a comic, existential and often surreal look at what might have happened during the 16 years not shown in “The Winter’s Tale.”Director John Preston Mendenhall says of this novel work, “This isn’t Shakespeare’s Bohemia. During a performance of ‘The Winter’s Tale,’ Time’s timing is off and he enters early. After a brief argument with a Shepherd, Time decides to slow down, beginning a sixteen-year adventure populated by an existentially conflicted Bear, a cross-dressing thief, a discontented prince, kings, queens, courtiers, and feminist falcons.”

The piece stars some of Montford Park Players’ greatest talent, all looking forward to taking on something never before seen. They include Alexander McDonald Villarreal, Melon Wedick, Scott Bean, Devyn Ray Villarreal, Jon Stockdale, and many more.

As Mendenhall says, “Whether or not you know The Winter’s Tale, you will enjoy the non-stop fun of this production.”

We hope you’ll join us!
