Torch Theater Will Recreate 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' Onstage As Fundraiser 9/11-26
Torch Theater will present staged performances of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" as its annual fundraiser. The performances will take place September 11th through 26th at the Theater Garage.
The company will recreate three episodes of the popular 1970s series, including the infamous "Chuckles Bites The Dust" episode.
It has been called one of the most acclaimed television programs ever produced in US television history. It won three straight Emmy awards for Outstanding Comedy. It was set in Minneapolis. A single hat toss has been locked into our collective memories. We bring it to the stage. Live. And hilarious.
The production is directed by David Mann and features Patrick Coyle, Julie Madden, Katharine Moeller, Seth Patterson, Mo Perry, Stacia Rice, Matt Sciple, Edwin Strout & Lauren Vlach. During the final weekend, Linda Kelsey returns as a special guest to perform in the same episode she did in 1974. WCCO's Mark Rosen will also appear in the production.
