The Mendocino Theatre Company is excited to announce its 2025 Season, showcasing a remarkable array of performances that include beloved classics, heartfelt narratives, and vibrant musical experiences. The season opens on March 6, 2025, at the Helen Schoeni Theatre, located at 45200 Little Lake Street in Mendocino, California.

The season kicks off with Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, directed by Alex Wright in his MTC directing debut. This humorous mad cap romp packs a wallop as audiences delight is seeing the venerable Sherlock and Watson navigate the London mist with thirty-some other odd characters played by three very busy actors. With video projection scenery, fast pacing, and physical comedy make this one a must-see for young and old alike. Baskerville performs March 6 — April 6.

Following Baskerville, audiences will be treated to one of the great American classics, Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, directed by John Craven. This uniquely American story has captivated theatergoers for generations and is widely regarded by critics as one of the best plays of the 20th century. Set in St. Louis during the Great Depression, The Glass Menagerie explores themes of memory, family, and the struggle for personal escape. Performances will run from May 1 — June 1.

As summer approaches, the Mendocino Theatre Company MTC will join forces with Musical Director Jenni Windsor of Gloriana Musical Theatre to present Always… Patsy Cline, a mega-hit musical by Ted Swindley. This enchanting production celebrates the life and music of the iconic singer through the true story of her lifelong friendship with Louise Seger, a Texas housewife who first befriended her in her early years. Audiences can look forward to an unforgettable evening filled with Patsy Cline’s timeless hits from June 26 — August 10.

Next on the roster is Lonely Planet by Stephen Dietz, a deeply moving play that tells the story of two men who find companionship and love amid challenging times. Director Michael Ducharme makes his MTC directing debut with this poignant exploration of friendship and resilience that will resonate with audiences long after they leave the theatre. Lonely Planet runs from August 28 — September 28.

To cap off the year, MTC will present Almost, Maine, a charming and warmly seasonal play by John Cariani and directed by (something like “longtime MTC artist” — not that… something like that maybe?) Ann Woodhead, that weaves together tales of love and relationships in the fictional town of Almost, Maine. With its whimsical and heartfelt vignettes, this production is sure to evoke laughter and nostalgia, running from November 6 — December 14.
