Started 35+ years ago by Travis & Kathy Piper and Msg. Schnacky, members of the parish community display their many theatrical talents with an annual play. Performances are held in February and all are welcome to join in the fun either by acting, making costumes, building sets, or serving the night of the show. Previous experience not necessary.
Did you know...each year, nearly 100 people get involved with our productions? Some are parishioners, some are non-Catholics, some are friends of friends. All are people interested in having fun and meeting new people. Rehearsals take place during the winter months which really makes the winter fly by. We write most of our own material and are always looking for new scripts and ideas.
We start work on the musical numbers Sunday afternoons in November and "open" mid-February for three fun-filled weekends.
HISTORY OF MSCP...
In 1981, new parishioners Kathy and Travis Piper invited Monsignor Schnacky to dinner. The Pipers had met through Community Theater. During the evening, it was mentioned that perhaps, someday, it might be fun to put on a Play at St. Catherine's.
The next weekend, a brief item appeared in the bulletin: "Travis and Kathy Piper have volunteered to put on a play here at St. Catherine's". When asked about the write-up, Monsignor smiled and said "Save me a small part!" ... The rest is history.
