WHY HEATHERS: 20 years ago when MRT was founded we were one of the only theatres in the area. Thankfully there is a plethora of live theatres now available in the greater Bluffton area. Theatre patrons now have choices! We began our season with Steel Magnolias, a show that was produced on this same MRT stage 20 years ago...we honored the past. With Heathers the Musical we are striving to signal what is to come...an exciting future that is balanced with the traditional and the new. The shows that make us celebrate life and the shows that make us think about life. The shows that let us settle into our seats with a comfortable sigh and the shows that make us sit on the edge of our seats and wonder...what's next?
