A Night With Mighty Goliath Productions

History is what makes Mighty Goliath Productions so special. We have a rich history of philanthropy and creativity. Our organization was born out of the PTA and has morphed into this non-profit that works tirelessly year round to raise money for our schools. 

This year we decided to reboot something we had done in the past every year, a revue. We would put on a show every year to kind of get people's juices flowing for the new show. It was an excuse to put on a show and have a great time. 

This year under the direction of Douglas F. Bailey II we have put together our event, 'A Night With Mighty Goliath Productions'. It features alumni of MGP from years past. It will highlight the past, present, and future of our organization. We will do numbers from shows we did ages ago, numbers from our current production, and numbers from shows we had been thinking about in the future. 

With over 20 performers and over 20 songs, this is going to be a night like nothing else. We will be hosting it at the Lorain Palace Theatre on November 7, 2015. We will have a cocktail hour starting at 6pm and the show starting at 7:30pm. There are going to raffles, food, and a cash bar. 

Come have fun. A night of fun for only $25.00. 

Get your tickets on our website using your credit or debit card. Can't wait to see you all there!

October will be here before you know it. Are you ready? Because we are.

What's the show about?

We've got a few awesome things happening. First of all we launched our new Facebook page in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. In less than 24 hours we are rocking 200+ likes. Thank you so much for all the support. Our Facebook page will serve to get fast moving information out there. If you haven't 'Liked' it yet point your browser to facebook.com/mightygoliathproductions.

Speaking about the Facebook page we've seen a lot of you sharing the event for our auditions. If you aren't hip to the details, check the post just before this. People are talking about which 32 bars of music to sing and what joke to tell. We can't wait to see what you have planned. But there is a question that we have picked up on.

What is Urinetown the Musical! really about?

Urinetown is a lot of musicals into one. On the surface it is about a dystopian-future where a 20 year drought has ravaged the country and you can't use your own personal toilet. You have to pay for the privilege to pee essentially. If you don't pay up, the government sends you to a place called Urinetown.

To say this musical is about water conservation and being kind to our Planet, you'd be right on. But it isn't just about that. It also makes fun of government over reach. It also satirized the legal system, corporate mismanagement, populist movements, and yes, even Broadway musicals. This is a comedy, our goal is to get you to pee your pants (that wasn't an accident by the way) from laughing so hard.

The music has a little bit of everything Broadway has done...ever. There are tunes that would sound right at home in Fiddler on the Roof, Evita, and Les Misérables. The main character is Bobby Strong, which was at one point the most sought after roles on Broadway, so to say the Broadway establishment has given this play their large rubber stamp of approval is an understatement. Urinetown the Musical!won the Tony hat trick for best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Direction of a Musical in 2002.

We are excited to see how Douglas F Bailey II, or Doug as we like to call him, is going to stage this whole show. We know he has some really neat ideas that Mighty Goliath has NEVER done before. Reminds me of when we sunk the Titanic live on stage 10 years ago.

So follow along, we are excited you are here.
