Encore Co. Presents Night at the Wax Museum by Craig Sodaro May 7-9 at 7pm in the MHHS gym where the hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history! School's out for summer, but not for a few unlucky students who don't know much about history—they have to retake the class in summer school. Their teacher has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students' eyes glaze over with boredom, there's a twinkle in the wax figures' eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra's bracelet brings them to life! King Henry VIII finds himself smitten with Cleopatra, making his queen, Anne Boleyn, furious. If she can just not lose her head, John Adams is there to serve as her divorce attorney! When Butch Cassidy, Calamity Jane, Blackbeard and a lady pirate show up, everybody's out for one thing—treasure! Supposedly, there's a mighty valuable one hidden in the museum! It's a wild goose chase to find it, with a greedy museum landlord and her bumbling son joining in the mad search. And why is Lizzie Borden lurking in the shadows since the aunts say they never had a wax figure of her?! Wax historical in this mad-cap, family-friendly adventure where the magic of history comes alive… literally! Recommended for general audiences. Tickets will be sold at the door--$5 Student, $7 Adults.

The Plastics have deemed Encore Company’s production of Mean Girls JR worthy of your presence and they hope to see you there March 12-14 at 7pm at MHHS! This "fetch" musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) is packed with keen wit, an undeniably catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone.
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George, Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends.
Adapted from Fey's 2004 blockbuster film and the Broadway smash hit, Mean Girls JR. will be the queen bee of the season! Recommended for ages 10+. Tickets at the door: Students $5 Adults $10

A Christmas Peter Pan by Kathryn Schultz Miller is live on stage one day only—Saturday, Dec. 13 at 2pm and 7pm at Mountain Home High school.

It's Christmas Eve and Tinker Bell summons Wendy, Michael and John to help her save Peter Pan and Santa Claus from Captain Hook. Santa has been frozen in the North Pole, and he can't deliver the presents on Christmas while his elves are searching for their lost Toys on the frozen tundra. Everyone ends up on the pirate ship where Peter Pan challenges Hook to a fantastic duel, and the dreaded Crocodile makes its appearance! Taking its cue from JM Barrie's beloved classic story Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up leads Tinkerbell and the gang on a lively romp through the North Pole then home again just in time for Christmas morning!

This 30-minute, fun-filled adventure is fast-paced and colorful and recommended for young children! All seats are $5 at the door. Poster by Giovana Arai

Our actors of the month for November are JB Trouten and Melanie Burk! These people dedicate their hearts to all of the work they invest in their roles, and they have the utmost care for character development. Both had multiple pieces in the state drama competition, and their performances were outstanding! We are so lucky to have them as part of our acting troupe this season, and we hope you’ll come out to see them Saturday, December 13 in our production of A Christmas Peter Pan. JB plays Tinker Bell and Melanie is a rowdy pirate!

10/22/2025

Don't miss Clue! Opens tonight and runs through Saturday at 7pm MHHS. Tickets at the door $5 Students $7 Adults. So fun! About 90 minutes--no intermission.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and Encore Company invites you to a very unusual dinner party. CLUE will be live on stage October 22-25 where each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. From writer Sandy Rustin comes a production based on the cult classic film by Jonathan Lynn and the popular board game. CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist, and it is recommended for general audiences.
