The Misericordia Players
Upcoming Events
Once
Join us for the musical theater production of Once, by Enda Walsh
April 7-10: Thu-Fri-Sat 7:30pm, Sunday 2pm
The Misericordia Players will present the musical "Once" April 7-10 at the Lemmond Theater on the Misericordia University Campus. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. The production is directed by Scott Woolnough from the Student Success Center, and musically directed and conducted by Kimberly Johnson. Dr. Rebecca Steinberger, English Department faculty member, is the producer.
What starts as a typical "guy meets girl" tale quickly evolves into a love story about two very different cultures told through song. Written by Enda Walsh with music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, "Once" won eight Tony Awards in 2012 including Best Musical and is based on the 2007 film by the same name written and directed by John Carney. Set in Ireland, the show explores aspects of all types of relationships from family, lovers, unrequited love, platonic love, and adds the complication of cultural differences.
"Once" features Misericordia students Elizabeth Cote, Cody Palubinski, Logan Padden, Sierra Ward, Megan Guziewicz, Olivia Fiocco, and Jacob Scherr in addition to Gabriel Gillespie, Rob Padden, and Matt Sarnovsky. It also features a live orchestra of seven musicians.
For more information or to reserve tickets in advance, contact the Misericordia University Box office, 570-674-3069. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $7 for students with a valid ID. The wearing of masks is pending university policy on the days of the show.

MU Players Officers
Lauren Schuster
MU Players President
“I think theater is a really powerful way to tell stories and connect with other people. I wanted to join the MU players for that emotional connection and for the strong sense of community this group shares.”
Jessica Martin
MU Players Vice President
"I participated in theater until I started college and for me it was a step out of my comfort zone when I was encouraged to join the MU Players. I am so glad I did though because I was able to meet my best friends, grow as a person, and bring entertainment to the lives of others."
Cody Palubinsky
MU Players Secretary
"I joined the theater to meet new people and to do something fun"
Elizabeth Cote
MU Players Treasurer
"Theater has always been an art medium that I've admired due to the connection that's made between the actors and the audience. It's more immediate than any other art form. The audience feels what the actor feels and vice versa, at that moment, instantaneous."
