************************** The Maverick
Players Are Moooving!
**************************
MAVERICK
PLAYERS ARE NO LONGER AT MIDLAND PARK MALL.
Our
lease
at Midland Park Mall has been terminated as the Mall owners
make way for a new permanent tenant in our space.Our
volunteers
are in the process of moving our equipment, props,
costumes and stuff to storage.While we
will miss our scruffy little homemade theater with its shabby chic
lobby, we
will not miss the air conditioner or the plumbing, both of which
expired on our
last performance!
**************************
THE
MAVERICKS ARE
NOT DEAD.
This group is more than a stage.We intend to carry on.We hope
you stay with us.All 2010 memberships
will be honored, even into 2011.We
promised you a season, and it will happen somewhere, sometime.
**************************
“I DO! I
DO!” HAS
BEEN POSTPONED.
We were scheduled to
open
“I DO! I DO!” in late May.The stress and
strain of our forced move
made producing this musical at a new, undetermined location impossible.Rescheduling the production for a later date
proved tricky, too.We are reluctantly
postponing it until 2011.
**************************
SO, WHAT’S
NEXT?
We don’t really know.We are
planning a production somewhere this summer.We will let you know what, when and where.We
first
have to complete the move, and then start looking for a
theater space for the long-term.On
that last point, we are seriously considering the Ritz Theater in
downtown
Midland.
**************************
THE RITZ
PROJECT
Midlanders Martha
and Joe
Dunham are working to renovate the old Ritz
Theater into a not-for-profit performing arts center.They have asked the Maverick Players to be their theatrical
tenant.Their plans are quite exciting,
but the job
will take donated money to materialize.You will be hearing more about this, but if you want more
information
right away, you can call Martha Dunham at 664-9383.

THANKS
We thank you
for your
support — your audience support, your financial
support and your emotional support in our transition.We will keep you advised of our adventures.
