Mount Players kick off 2026 season

The Mount Players has an exciting 2026 season coming up, with the first show about to open at the Mountview Theatre.

Rehearsals have been in full swing as the players prepare to put on The Cemetery Club, a comedy by Ivan Menchell and directed by George Benca.

The play follows three New York widows, who meet once a month for tea before visiting their husbands’ graves; Ida, a sweet-tempered lady who is ready to begin a new life; Lucille, who is the feisty embodiment of the girl who wants to have fun; and Doris, who is priggish and judgemental, especially when Sam the butcher enters the scene.

The play is described as a story filled with laugh-out-loud humour and pathos about love, navigating grief and the challenges of moving on.

The season runs from 20 February until 8 March on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm at the Mountview Theatre in Macedon.

Tickets cost between $25 and $35, and include a complimentary sherry, free tea/coffee and treats at intervals with the bar offering a range of drinks for purchase.

Complimentary carers seats are also available to carers with a valid carer card.

For any booking enquiries call 0419 329 052.
