Bodyslammed Among the Bovines July 29, 2009

Midland Community Theatre's Summer Mummers present this annual show. The Mummers' trademark is audience participation with ongoing cheers for the hero and his uprighteous comrades and boos and popcorn hurled at the villain. At several intervals during the performance, a movie screen drops down, advancing the melodrama plot along with an original filmed chase between the villain and the hero through Midland streets. The melodrama is followed by a colorful olio of dance numbers, a singalong, and various comedy routines, ending with the Mummers Band backing the can-can dancer's finale.
