About Mammoth Lakes Children's Theater

Allison McDonell Page has produced and directed several Mammoth Lakes Children’s Theater productions with the help of Jim Marcotte and Susan Dalian. SCT came on as producers after the first two years. This 7 week, three rehearsals per week, fall program culminates in two full productions at The Edison Theater. For many years we were able to add shows for the Middle School and Elementary School assemblies as well.

The actors have been Mammoth Lakes Elementary School, Middle School and High School students. These children help build sets, props and costumes. The goal is to have young people not only be the actors but the lifeblood of the program.

The past shows have involved between 17 and 36 child performers. We have performed the following comedies: The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet, Alice @ Wonderland, and The Seuss Odyssey. Then we started a kids after school playwriting program and had the kids write the play that was performed the following fall. This past spring our High school and Middle school students wrote ‘The Roses are Burning,” a wonderful LGBTQ adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet where the star-crossed lovers are two young women.

This program has been a critical, financial and creative success. SCT had Measure U support in 2015 and we have been awarded Measure U support ever since.
