A Night of Dining and Musical Comedy November 20th

Enjoy a night of musical comedy, a free dinner and fellowship with your colleagues, and most importantly, some fun – while supporting our students!

Employee Wellness is partnering with VAPA to host a free dinner for employees before the Friday, November 20th performance of the MCC Fall Play, "Something Rotten," performed by MCC students. You can bring one dinner guest, age 17 or older, at no charge! And you can also browse in the Mercer Gallery.

"Something Rotten" is the 2015 musical comedy about Nick and Nigel Bottom, two struggling playwright brothers in 1590s London who try to outshine William Shakespeare by creating the world’s first musical. It is a clever blend of Renaissance satire and modern Broadway humor. Come see why it won 10 Tony nominations!

The dinner will be held in the North Atrium at 5:30 pm. The play begins at 7:30 pm.

A Shakespearean Raffle!

A fun raffle related to the play will support the Mary P. Nolan Scholarship Fund to support VAPA students.

This year’s theme is based on Shakespeare. The basket will include all kinds of goodies related to the Bard of Avon!

Raffle Tickets will be sold before the dinner. Tickets start at just $1! The drawing for the winner will take place at the dinner. You do not need to be present to win.

Tickets for the play are priced as follows:

MCC Student (ID required) $8
