Random People’s Monologue/ Dialogue Project presents So Hum Tales at Mateel
It’s that time of year again: time for your community to tell its stories on stage. So Hum Tales is the name of this year’s Random People’s Monologue / Dialogue Project production, and it will be happening March 19th and 20th at 8:00 pm and Sunday, the 21st at 2:00 at the Mateel Community Center. The doors open at 7:30 and 1:30 respectively, and the tickets are available at the door only: sliding scale $12 - $20. Refreshments, beer and wine will be available.
This is the fifth year of the Project, and, true to form, there is no lack of creativity flowing from So Hum! There are eleven scripts in this year’s show, all of them written, directed, and acted by your friends and neighbors. This year, most of the scripts are comedic with a scattering of more serious topics. Come and enjoy a relaxing and fun theater experience! For more information call the Mateel office at 923-3368.
