Is December here already? We have to start off our last newsletter of 2018 by saying, Thank you. Thank you to our loyal members, new ticket holders and those that continue to embrace what we are doing here at the MCC! Your loyalty and engagement is what brings us such joy in delivering a diverse and meaningful offering of cultural entertainment every month.
For our team at the MCC, 2018 has been a year of growth, learning and exploring new opportunities. We’ve said goodbye to some staff and welcomed new team members. We’ve also been opening our online channels and exploring new show ideas that will open the MCC up to a wider and more diverse audience demographic. We can’t wait to share what’s in store for 2019!
In the meantime, grab some hot chocolate and warm up to these cozy holiday acts all month long!
HEADLINERS IN DECEMBER
Santa – A Day in the Life – December 8
Grab your Elf Hats and come hear from the MAN himself! Santa is here and we’ve still got a few tickets available for this popular tradition at the MCC. Santa will be sitting down with Fred Hacker to tell us all about life at the North Pole; the reindeer, the elves, Mrs. Claus, and of course how he prepares for the “big day” – getting gifts to all of the good boys and girls around the world!
Kids, bring your questions for Santa and tell him your wishes! In addition, Quest Art and Cafe Roxy will be bringing some fun festive crafts and treats for the kids.
Thanks to the Midland Rotary Club for their sponsorship of the MCC's children's programming, this is a FREE event for children and their parents.

All the Kringle Ladies – December 21
You’ll be holly jolly after this dynamic Comedy Showcase featuring award-winning comedy troupe Good Morning Apocalypse at the MCC!

This local sketch comedy group from the Midland and Penetanguishene area have been performing since 2015, most recently at Ottawa’s 2018 Fringe Festival.
Get your laughs on as Mrs. Claus does her best to get back into the dating scene after four hundred years of marriage; the Four Wise Men decide who gives what to a certain birthday boy; and what happens when someone gets the terrifying gift of ... nothing. The show is a journey of laughter, sketches and music.
