Memory Monday - National Tour Star Robin De Lano o Memory Monday - National Tour Star Robin De Lano on Irma La Douce, from our 2009-10 season: "IRMA LA DOUCE was my first lead at MTG! I have so many great memories of this show, but one that takes the cake, has to do with the man, the legend, Joe Hart.  A small Inside scoop-in every show, if we can, someone will end a line ‘…with a script.’ Since it’s so obvious we have to carry around scripts. So, one of the actors says, ‘Have you seen her?’ and Joe’s line is ‘Yes! I have! She was running. Fast, through the streets…carrying a script!’ It was the best, because not only did I get to work with all these talented men, but I finally had the ‘script’ line said about me! It felt like a MTG rite of passage, and the moment I really felt indoctrinated into this super talented family!"

Memory Monday - Broadway Star Beth Malone on FADE Memory Monday - Broadway Star Beth Malone on FADE OUT - FADE IN, from our 2009-10 season: "My experience rehearsing and performing FADE OUT FADE IN was fantastic from beginning to end although I was a bit overwhelmed initially to be playing a role originated by the incomparable Carol Burnett. Lewis Wilkenfeld's direction, made me feel like I could explore and play as much as I wanted, which was really freeing, and also a whole lot of fun.  As the performance approached I do remember still feeling anxious, because you're always shot out of a cannon with MTG, but again Lewis and actually everyone, encouraged me to just let it fly and that's what I did.  I remember the performances flew by because the show was so buoyant.  It bounced along on waves of laughter and applause.  The audiences made me feel like I could do no wrong.  By curtain call I was fully living my FADE OUT FADE IN dream.  That's the beauty of MTG, you get to have a condensed experience that feels very satisfying.  I only hated that it was over too fast, but I'll always be grateful to have played that amazing part and to have done it with such support and love."

TBT - Maura Knowles on FINIAN'S RAINBOW, from our TBT - Maura Knowles on FINIAN'S RAINBOW, from our 2008-2009 season: "FINIAN’S RAINBOW was a show near and dear to me Irish heart. A dream cast; my dreamy leading lad, Damon Kirsche, hilarious side-kick/Leprechuan, Richard Israel and loving "Da," Reece Holland.  Gary Gordon was a wonderful director. Ed Martel, one of the best M.D.'s in town! How lucky we were to perform this magical gem in Thousand Oaks and at the Alex Theatre.

Memory Monday - Jennifer Gordon on THE MOST HAPPY Memory Monday - Jennifer Gordon on THE MOST HAPPY FELLA from our 2008-2009 season: "THE MOST HAPPY FELLA at MTG was like a dream come true for me. When I was 4 years old, my parents, who were already established performers with the wonderful Long Beach Civic Light Opera, wanted to see if I had the "bug". So, the 3 of us auditioned and were subsequently cast in LBCLO’s production of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. My world would forever be changed.  In fact, I loved being on stage so much that I didn't understand why I didn't have any lines!!  Even as a 4 year old, I wanted my "moment in the spotlight." I watched and studied everyone during rehearsals. My favorite performer was Kelly Britt, who played Cleo.  I memorized every one of her lines and songs, and would sing "Ooh My Feet" day and night. Yes, I was 4 years old singing, "But the big son-of-a-bitch hurts the most!"  A true theater kid. So the fact that I was cast as Cleo in MTG'S production of this exquisite, but rarely mounted musical was absolute kismet. Add to that, working with the incomparable Calvin Remsberg as Director and a brilliant MTG cast, let's just say the 4 year old Jenny Gordon finally got her moment in spotlight!"

IT’S TODAY! BROADWAY STAR GERRY MACINTYRE joins IT’S TODAY! BROADWAY STAR GERRY MACINTYRE joins Musical Theatre Guild as our Special Guest Host as tradition meets innovative technology in an exciting hour-long live broadcast TODAY! FINDING THE SILVER LININGS is a strikingly apt theme for a year that has completely upended the live performance industry. Broadway musicals have a long history of optimistic anthems and we have carefully chosen songs from past productions that accentuate the positive, offer hope in troubled times, and share an appreciation of the simple joys in life. The memorable songs that make up the program come from such varied musicals as WORKING, FINIAN’S RAINBOW, FLOYD COLLINS, THE APPLE TREE, BELLS ARE RINGING, VIOLET, LUCKY STIFF and many others. MTG members appearing in the event include Eydie Alyson, Jennifer Bennett, Teri Bibb, Jill Marie Burke, Will Collyer, Matthew Patrick Davis, Kelley Dorney, Joshua Finkel, Tal Fox, Todd Gadjusek, James Gleason, Jason Graae, Anthony Gruppuso, Pamela Hamill, Joe Hart, Ron Christopher Jones, Jennifer Knox, Michael Kostroff, Susan Edwards Martin, Dino Nicandros, Helen Jane Planchet,Monica Quinn, Glenn Rosenblum, Alyssa M. Simmons, Paul Wong and Robert Yacko.
