Millbrook Community Players (MCP) will close its 2021 season with a funny new Christmas comedy called “Not a Creature Was Stirring, Not Even a Moose.” Thursday is opening night and tickets are selling like hotcakes.

Tickets are $12 and can be purchased online while they last. Susan Chain, treasurer for MCP, is encouraging people to buy tickets online. She said masks are not required but will be available. She added there will be a full concession stand with favorites such as popcorn and drinks.

Chain said they completely sanitize the theatre after each show.

Chain said the last show was Steel Magnolias and it sold out. She said she expects this new show will also be popular. Season tickets are being printed and will be on sale at $50 for five shows in 2022.

John Chain – President
