Mad Cow Productions

All at MCP were delighted that the Shropshire Star attended our fist night of Forum. We were even more delighted when we saw the review printed in full below! Unfortuately for those who haven't discovered MCP yet it was too late to get a ticket as we were completely Sold Out before opening night. Yipee!!!

On Friday, February 5th The Shropshire Star said: "A former Shropshire resident is set to return to the county to star in a Shrewsbury drama company's latest production.

The Shropshire Star 20.1.10 wrote: A top opera singer who has performed with The English National Opera and at The Royal Opera House, in Covent Garden, is set to appear in an amateur production in Shropshire.

Alex and Lisa couldn't be more excited, scared and absolutely convinced they are in a parallel universe.

Why? Well, Larry Blank, world renowned orchestrator, and friend of Stephen Sondheim has said it would be “fun” to fly in from the States to help them with their production of Forum in April next year. No, we can’t believe it either!

The demands of putting on a musical have seen Lisa and Alex spending a busy summer auditioning to find extra talent to join The Herd for our forthcoming production of Stephen Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and we are delighted to announce that the job is done!

Are you interested in musical theatre? Would you like to appear on stage in Theatre Severn? Do you know of someone who might?

We’ve done it! The past five years' hard work has paid off. Mad Cow Productions is delighted to announce that from Wednesday the 14th to Saturday the 17th of April 2010 we will be performing at Theatre Severn Shropshire’s premier arts venue.

Thank you so much to our regular audience members who have asked to be able to show their support of Mad Cows Productions. Due to their requests we are launching a Friends Scheme.

On Sunday 31st of May 2009 more than fifty folk took over The Corn House Restaurant in Shrewsbury to celebrate another successful year with MCP.

Well now the dust has settled we are glad to say that we can look back on another successful show. Our newspaper reviewer Gordon Riley described us as “a tonic”, and if laughter is the best medicine it was being handed out left right and centre!

MCP was delighted that in these gloomy economic times our box office numbers continued to increase. Many, many thanks to all those people who now support us, please continue to spread the word about what we do. If you enjoyed our show bring a friend next time!

We were delighted with the positive audience reaction and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved; we are very proud of our “herd”, it truly is the entire team’s success.

The scenes are rehearsed, the set is built and the lines are learnt!

As I said before, Lucy had completed the set designs and the construction crew were poised…

Lucy our talented set designer has been hard at work to bring the flavour of ‘Allo, ‘Allo to the Ashton Theatre.

Play Chosen and Cast Confirmed

After the success of their previous production it was clear to Alex and Lisa that the Mad Cow Motto should be “Make ‘em Laugh!” Audience member after audience member commented on how lovely it was to come out for the evening and laugh; problems were forgotten, spirits were lifted and a good time was had by all. A decision was made; the feel good factor had to stay. So what ever the piece Mad Cow produces, you the audience can be sure of one thing… It will be a giggle!
