Translations

Set in the fictional town of Baile Beag , a village in 19th century Ireland, Translations, by Brian Friel, deals with a number of issues, using language and communication to explore the Irish character and cultural imperialism. The plot revolves around two soldiers from the British Ordinance Survey, who arrive in Baille Beag for the purpose of anglicizing the local Irish place names, one instance of imperial oppression. Culture erasure, in all its forms, is a weapon of racial discrimination that has been practiced throughout the ages by governments in power. Friel’s characters engage in the conflict to preserve local traditions against the assault.

The Sunshine Boys

A Mugford Street Players and Marblehead Little Theatre Production

Directed by John Fogle
Produced by Greg Mancusi-Ungaro

Lewis and Clark were famous comedians during the vaudeville era. Off-stage, though, they couldn't stand each other, and haven't spoken in over twenty years. Ben, Willy Clark's nephew, is the producer of a variety show that wants to feature a reunion of the classic duo. How will Ben convince the crotchety old comedians to put aside their differences before the big show?

This is a very nice article with plenty of pictures that wonderfully describes the collection and preservation of MLT's history .

There are, however, a few corrections that we would like to make to some of the references about MLT alums...

Erik Hayden performed as Tevya in Fiddler in the 8th grade at Marblehead Middle School and performed in "Gypsy" at MLT and then went on to star as Buddy Holly in national tour of the "Buddy Holly Story."
