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.
