Miscoe Hill Youth Theatre presents, “NIght at the Wax Museum” by Craig Sodaro.

The hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history. School’s out for summer but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to re-take history class in summer school. First-year teacher, Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation brings them to life. King Henry VIII, Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, Butch Cassidy, Calamity Jane, pirates galore and, Lizzie Borden are just a few of the characters featured. Look out for all of these historical characters coming to Mendon on December 1 & 2 at 7:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on click here to purchase tickets online.
