Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) is pleased to share the news that The Kleban Foundation’s 28th Annual Kleban Prize for Musical Theatre for the most promising musical theatre librettist has been awarded to Christian Duhamel for his work on My 80-Year-Old Boyfriend, a musical that received its world premiere at MRT in Lowell in April 2017.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) starts off 2018 with the latest in its 39th season: the world premiere production of Vichet Chum’s KNYUM. Vichet Chum will make both his playwrighting and acting debut at MRT with his brand new, one-man play following the story of Guy, a hotel night clerk who spends the quiet hours of the night shift studying Khmer, the language of his family’s home of Cambodia, in preparation for his first visit to the country his parents fled from decades before. Guy stumbles awkwardly towards fluency to awaken to parts of his heritage, both beautiful and excruciating, which shine through in his wildly luminous dreams.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) announced today that their production of A Christmas Carol, the third show of their 2017-18 Season, has become the best-selling show in the theatre’s history. The previous record holder was It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, which notably also featured cast member Joel Colodner and director Megan Sandberg-Zakian.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) continues its 39th season with a beloved Christmas story, A Christmas Carol.
MRT favorite Joel Colodner (It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, Going to See the Kid) uses his dexterous voice and inventive acting to bring Ebenezer Scrooge and the rest of your favorite characters to life. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ own live storytelling performances—and with your favorite carols played by live onstage musicians—we’ll remind you of the true meaning of Christmas: the singular joy of fellowship and compassion.
Lowell, MA – Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) starts off 2017 with “The Making of a Great Moment,” the world premiere comedy by ATCA/Steinberg award-winning playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb.

They play two actors on the tour of their play about all of human history—which they bring across the country by bicycle. Colorful humor, thought-provoking insight, and heartfelt performances make it a delectably smart and funny night of theatre. MRT Artistic Director Sean Daniels directs.
