Over 60 million people worldwide have fallen in love with the characters, the story, and the music that make Mamma Mia! the ultimate feel-good show!
ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

A large cast, non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers combine to make Mamma Mia! a guaranteed smash hit for any theatre. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads.

The Masquers, Inc. Community Theater Company, is excited to announce open auditions for the first production of our 89th season, the highly anticipated musical, MAMMA MIA!
This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!

The director of our first show this season, Mamma Mia! has been announced.
The board of directors of The Masquers during its August meeting chose Erin LaFond as the director of this smash hit musical.
Erin is no stranger to the stage having been seen on stage as well as back stage for many local productions. The last time she was named director for one of our shows was in 2010 with the Masquers production of Spiders Web.
We are looking forward to Erin's leadership and vision for this show. It is certain to be one of the highlights of the season!
We will be sharing candid photos and videos as the process unfolds!
