History:

The Mighty Richland Players was modeled on the Goldenrod Showboat that toured the Mississippi and was docked near the St. Louis Arch from 1926 through the 1970s.

Meals:

Our meals are catered by Four Seasons Banquet Facility of Freeport and feature everything from comfort food and vegetarian dishes to holiday specials.

Location:

Productions take place in the Orangeville Masonic Lodge at 203 W. High Street, Orangeville. That's the two-story buff building with blue trim on the south side of the street.

Built in 1876, the lodge hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Italianate Victorian design structure recently underwent a $150,000 restoration and continues to serve as the only meeting place for the village's fraternal orders.

Announcements:

The Northwestern Illinois Theater Coalition will hold auditions for the third annual "Cheddar Curtain" on Monday, Jan. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, 203 W. High St., Orangeville, and on Tuesday, Jan. 10, in Bartlett. Parts are available for actors and singers of all ages.

The Coalition is made up of the Mighty Richland Players of Orangeville, Back Street Players of Hanover, and Plum River Playhouse in Stockton.

The 2012 season is made up of three comedies, two with historical and regional significance. Musical numbers and Vaudeville skits will add to the evening's entertainment.

The Cheddar Curtain opens in February, 2012 and will play at all three theaters.
