MGP is greatly pleased with the talents these 3 new staff members bring to their group and hope they are able to be a part of MGP for many years in the future. The dancers began rehearsing at the very first rehearsal and the choreographers are often on their feet for 3 hours straight helping them get ready for the big show.

There will be a dinner theater night on Saturday the 21st, catered by Novotny catering. Tickets will be $13 general admission and $9 for students/seniors.
