<p>Just wondering if anyone has heard about what shows will be produced this year.....at any of the MT colleges that are often mentioned on here.</p>

<p>Otterbein’s mainstage season: fall = “Les Mis” and “Speed the Plow,” spring = “The Full Monty” and “The Importance of Being Earnest.”</p>

<p>There are 8 sophomore shows too that aren’t open to the public-- the first are “Sexual Perversity in Chicago” and “Closer”, but the rest haven’t been announced.</p>

<p>Coastal Carolina University’s mainstage productions for the Fall 2013 are “The Sweetest Swing in Baseball”, “The Shape of Things”, and “A Chorus Line”- as well as the staged reading of a new musical (to be announced). The mainstage shows for Spring are “Into the Woods”, “Crimes of the Heart”, and “Blood Wedding”.</p>

<p>“The Importance of being Earnest Borgnine” :)</p>

<p>I heard from my son that the UMich fall mainstage will be “A Little Night Music” and spring will be “Les Mis”.</p>

<p>Marbleheader, I’ve always thought Earnest would make a great Lady Bracknell!</p>

<p>Montclair State MT will be doing: “Flight”, “Myths and Hymns”, “Falsettos” and one more mainstage musical that is still up in the air…“42nd Street” among others are under consideration.</p>
