The Majestic Play Reading Committee for the 20-21 season have been reading and debating and meeting with directors since August and have selected the six shows that will make up the 2020-2021 Majestic Community Theatre season. With nearly 20 shows to read, analyze, and discuss it was a labor of love and for that we are truly grateful to Brandi Douglas, Rick Hammel, Pat Leathrum, Oriana Mulatero, and Echo Rue. And here is the season they choose:
