MIKE MULLIGAN & HIS STEAM SHOVEL

A Musical by Eric Lane Barnes; Based on the book by Virginia Lee Burton

Summer 2024 at Barter’s Smith Theatre

Mike Mulligan and his beloved steam shovel, Mary Anne, have been together for many years. But now newer, fancier shovels have taken all the work, leaving Mike and Mary Anne in the dust.  Their only hope lies in the little town of Popperville, which needs a basement dug for its new City Hall. The story of hard work, determination and friendship comes to life in this charming musical adaptation.

Barter Theatre is partially funded by:

This project was supported [in part] by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. 

A special thanks to the Town of Abingdon, Washington County, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation for their support.
