As in seasons past, MCT productions are performed by Intermediate (4th 6th grade), Middle (7th 8th grade), and DHH students, with all who audition getting to participate in the production. Each year the production offers something unique, such as using a shadow casting technique with disabled actors. This year, Oliver! features six DHH students (more than ever before), and there are a whopping four sets of identical twins participating in the production, two in each cast. Nearly 1300 students have participated in MCT over the years, with some even going on to success in regional theatre groups, television and film, including Brett Davern, who has appeared several times this season on CBS' s "Cold Case." Another MCT alum Kevin Hamedani has directed a film airing in February 2010 in major theaters called "Zombies of Mass Destruction". Oliver! is based on Charles Dickens' touching tale of an orphan boy who runs away from an orphanage and tries to pick a pocket or two, but gets caught. The show spawned several musical standards including "Food, Glorious Food", "Consider Yourself", "As Long as He Needs Me", "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two", "Oom-Pah-Pah" and "Where is Love?" and the 1968 film version won six Academy Awards.

Lecture - The Mountaineers Foundation
3/27
Theatre 47, Magnuson Park
The Mountaineers Foundation invites the public to attend a presentation by ecological economist Dave Batker... Batker will share a humorous, edgy, factual, timely and highly-visual film about the American economy today, challenging the ways we measure economic success-especially the Gross Domestic Product-and offering an answer to the question: What's the Economy For, Anyway? Using Gifford Pinchot's idea that the economy's purpose is the greatest good for the greatest number over the longest run, Batker compares the performance of the U.S. economy with that of other industrial countries in terms of providing a high quality of life, fairness and ecological sustainability, concluding that when you do the numbers, we come out near the bottom in nearly every category. In addition to this 40-minute film, produced by John de Graaf, award-winning Seattle film maker with such titles to his credit as 'Affluenza,' "Silent Killer," and 'Buyer Be Fair', attendees will also be able to visit a showcase of some of the many organizations that have been helped by grants from the Foundation, made possible by generous donors.
