The hills are alive with the Sound of Music!

Directed and Choregraphed by Melanie Mays, music direction Lisa Litteral and James Brown, Sound of Music was MadCo's first production as a 501 c3 not-for-profit organization. Critics raved!

OKLAHOMA!, October 2010
M&M Productions' successful production of Oklahoma! thrilled local audiences in October 2010. The show was directed and choreographed by Melanie Mays. Here's what the critics had to say: "Clever choreography, melodious voices...and well trained performers combine to bring the romantic musical"Oklahoma!" to life at the Opera House".
Fiddler on the Roof, september 2009
Our first large-scale musical, Fiddler on the Roof, directed and choreographed by Melanie Mays was produced under the Opera House Stage Co. This show was such a large scale success, that it prompted Ms. Mays to go out on her own and start M&M Productions. Audiences were shocked that a small town like Monticello could produce high-quality, semi-professional theatre, using home town actors! The show grossed more than any other show in the history of the Monticello Opera House. Fiddler on the Roof starred Duncan Hoehn as Tevye; Lisa Reasoner as Golde; Kathleen Osgood as Yente; Marisa Grooms as Tzeitel; Caroline Mueller as Hodel; Talitha Hanks as Chavela and the Christopher Sheats as the Fiddler. Entire families were used in the chorus and smaller parts!
