The Ice House is home to The Ice House Theater Project, MAC’s community theater directed by local professionals.  Presently, we produce four “main stage” shows a year. Each season, we strive to pick shows that local actors want to act in and shows that the local audience wants to attend. Some shows have small casts, some have large casts, and there are occasional musicals.  From our inception, we’ve sought to include, every season, at least one multi-generational play with parts for both children and adults. In such shows, the entire family can be part of the action.

Audition Information

The Real Inspector Hound:
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Margi Griffiths

Audition Dates: August 19 & 20, 2024
5 male, 3 female

Feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdboot, the first a fusty philanderer and the second a pompous and vindictive second stringer, are swept into the whodunit they are viewing at a theater in the 1970s England. In the hilarious spoof of Agatha Christie-like melodramas that follows, the body under the sofa proves to be the missing first string critic. As mists rise about isolated Muldoon Manor, Moon, and Birdfoot become dangerously implicated in the lethal activities of an escaped madman.

Christmas Vignettes:
Written by Don Zoladis and others
Directed by Brice Williams

Audition date: October 22, 2024
Many parts for adults and children

Christmas traditions are turned on their heads in this hilariously charming series of four short plays. In Clausarella, the reluctant heir to Santa’s empire finds the strength to step out of his father’s shadow and win true love. Kris Kringle and company get a lesson in corporate greed and worker’s rights in Santa vs. The Garden Gnomes, while Revenge of the Gingerbread Boy transforms the classic confectionary tale into a vendetta soap opera. Finally, Grandma Remembers Something explores “the good old days that never were” and proves that nostalgia is a dish best served confused. The plays will be interspersed with musical guests and a carol sing-along.
