The Menomonie Theater Guild is Menomonie’s oldest

Guild Studio. It is the mission of the Menomonie
Theater Guild to produce plays for community
enjoyment, to provide dramatic recreating for its

building as a historic, authentic and cultural institution.
Menomonie Theater Guild Spring 2015
Hello, dear members of MTG!
As I near the end of my term on the board of the Menomonie Theater Guild, I am pleased at what we have accomplished over this past year. We will have produced four very successful and well-received productions, we have cut our spending significantly, we have begun to plan on improving our costume and property storage areas, organize the scene shop, and will end the year with a positive operating budget while beginning to pay off the mortgage/loan that had accumulated over the past several years.
We have already planned a full season for next year, soon to be announced, including presentations in our own studio and a teen production in the park this summer.
I hope that you will be able to participate in the volunteer opportunities that will be presented next year– building sets, creating costumes, working on lights, sound, and prop crews, and just working on our building to keep it warm, functional and inviting. We’ll be letting you know of our needs via email and the newsletter, and how you’ll be able to sign up.
Thank you for your wonderful support this year, through helping with productions, performing on stage, and providing extra financial support through your generous contributions. Thank you for a great year.
Color Dash 5k Fundraiser with a hurricane of color
that will turn even your tears of joy into a tie-dyed
movement of bliss and renew your outlook on what
fun and life are all about! Come walk, run or skip
through the 5k COLORFUL course at Wakanda
park on May 2nd, 2015. The Color Dash is a fun-
filled experience for walkers, runners and people of
all ages, shapes and sizes! The dash is not timed-
it’s more about sharing memories, laughing and
getting colored like a bag of Skittles than
competing. 11:00am is registration and packet
pick-up and the Color Run begins at 1:00pm.

discounted rate visit: www.cd5k.com
