Please join the MHS Theatre Troupe for their performances of "Wild Strawberries" on March 1st and 2nd at 6:30pm! Tickets are $10 each and $8 for K-12 students. We hope to see you there!
"It’s a bright morning on the di Nikoli estates and the loyal maid Truffledina just wants to eat breakfast. But her mistress, Nikolette di Nikoli, wants to disguise herself as her supposedly dead brother and go into the city to take care of his will and her inheritance. Nikolette and Truffledina head off to the city, where they meet (and confuse) many of the residents. Hilarity is guaranteed as one mistaken identity leads to another, loyalties and love are traded, and chaos ensues in the pursuit of Wild Strawberries."
