2019 MCI Christmas Play


We have received information concerning the 2019 MCI Christmas play.  As before, each person has to sign up to attend through Eventbrite, which is a tab on the lower left of our site (MCI Ministry of Theatre).  Rather than attempt to paraphrase the information, below is a "copy and paste" from their site.

Event Information
Description
This year's presentation of the Hugh J. Daily ministry of theatre presented by Marion Correctional welcomes past supporters as well as new witnesses. This years Christmas play is a modern day narrative about Christmas gifts. Not the traditional gifts we place under the tree; the unusual gifts we provide for each other on a daily basis. You will witness the healthy relationships between two pastors as they service two very different demographics. The actors and musicians for our Christmas plays, as well as the writer, director, lights, and sound crew are all residents. Please come, join us in this musical presentation of The Christmas Gift. This event is our gift to you!

There will be 4 performances (6pm Friday Dec. 13, 1pm and 6pm Saturday Dec. 14, 1pm Sunday Dec. 15).
Deadline to register is Friday, November 29!

How do I register? As before, groups may be registered only if you enter each person's name as a seperate entry and ask for one (1) ticket at a time. This means each guest must register in Eventbrite and have his or her name listed in Eventbrite. This means that no single person can register for multiple tickets and expect to bring friends whose names are not registered in Eventbrite, If a guest's name is not found on the list of registered guests, he or she will NOT be permitted to attend. If you are the person responsible to register anyone other than yourself, including groups, you should register yourself asking for one ticket; then go back to the registration and begin registering each of yourguests, using their names, and soon. You may email the orgamizer and we will attempt to help you if you have difficulties.

Is there a minimum age? No child under the age of 12 will be permitted to attend the play. All children (12-17) must be accompianied by a parent or guardian OR have a notarized letter with the parent's permission to attend clearly stated. All children must be registered by name and must have a Birth Certificate present to enter.

Do I need an ID? All guests must have a photo ID to enter (except children who will instead use a copy of of their Birth Certificate).

How do I thank the performers? Applause only...guests will not be permitted to have contact with the inmates. At the conclusion of the program, guests will not be permitted to hug, shake hands, etc. with the inmate play participants.

My friend/loved one is at MCI, can I see this play? Inmate family and friends (including anyone on the inmate's visiting list) will only be permitted to attend at the Friday evening performance 6-8pm. Inmate family or friends who register for any other day will be denied entry.

Is there a deadline to register? Deadline to register is Friday November 29. This rule applies to guests of MCI staff as well.

Who can come? Any community member. Former offenders and those under PRC/Parole status require special permission to attend. Email the organizer or call the facility.

Do I need a ticket? You do NOT need to bring a paper ticket from Eventbrite. We get the names for our event Gate Pass direct from Eventbrite. You may print it and bring it as a reminder to yourself.

Can I help out? Please spread the word about us! Also, donations are needed and accepted! You may bring a Money Order or check made out to "MCI Ministry of Theatre."

Who can answer questions? MCI Chaplain Blaire Smith, blaire.smith@odrc.state.oh.us
