MNM Productions Announces 2017 Musical Season

MNM Productions may have only produced four shows in its first two years - A Chorus Line, Side By Side By Sondheim, Hair and The World Goes 'Round - but the audience response has been so enthusiastic and the critical acclaim so glowing that co-producers Marcie Gorman-Althof and Michael Lifshitz are proudly announcing that the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts is now the "home" of the impressive young theatrical company.

"Along with such highly respected cultural organizations as Palm Beach Opera, Miami City Ballet and the Young Singers of the Palm Beaches, MNM Productions is very proud to now call the Kravis Center home," says Mr. Lifshitz. "Three of our first four shows had successful runs in the Kravis Center's Rinker Playhouse, so we are particularly pleased that all of our musical productions in 2017 and beyond will be presented there as well."

"Working with the talented team at the Kravis Center has been a real delight," adds co-producer Gorman-Althof. "They are all true professionals, and we look forward to working with them even closer as we stage future, audience-wowing productions. It is also exciting to become part of the Kravis Center family during their spectacular 25thanniversary season."

In fact, MNM Productions also presented numbers from several of its previous productions to a jam-packed audience during the Kravis Center's 25th Anniversary Community Salute earlier this month.

During 2017, MNM Productions currently plans to present three major, award-winning musical productions:

· Monty Python's SPAMALOT - May 19 to June 4

· Stephen Sondheim's COMPANY - July 21 to August 6

· LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - October 6-22

The full production team and audition dates for each of these shows will be announced at a later date. Both Equity and Non-Equity performers can audition.

This Production Company is the latest venture by two experienced theatrical producers and arts consultants: Marcie Gorman-Althof and Michael Lifshitz. The fledgling theatrical company has so far produced four major musical productions (A Chorus Line, Side By Side By Sondheim, HAIR and The World Goes 'Round), three of which received "recommended" status for Carbonell Awards, South Florida's most prestigious award for professional theater, with one nomination so far for Side By Side By Sondheim, which was nominated for Best Ensemble.
