Waiting for the Parade, a drama in 24 scenes by John Murrell, will hit the stage April 4-7.  First produced in 1977 by Alberta Theatre Projects, the play’s setting is Calgary during World War II, and features five women who gather to work for the war effort while their men are away, each character responding quite differently to the challenges that come with holding down the fort at home.  MMC Theatre is proud to celebrate and honor the women whose lives have been changed by loved ones serving in military conflicts overseas, and will be offering free tickets for military spouses, past and present. Waiting for the Parade is under the direction of Andy Henrickson, and is being sponsored by Wintz and Ray Funeral Home.
