If this were a movie it would be rated a solid R - for extreme sexual content and nudity. We lived in Midland 20 years ago and would come to Summer Mummers. We remembered it as a fun time with friends to throw popcorn and watch the show - to "boo" when the villain came out and cheer when the heroine arrived. Some of the humor was a little off color but mostly it was good adult fun. We were back in town so our Midland friends bought tickets for our group of 12 (She stayed up until midnight when the tickets went on sale because they can be hard to get for big groups). We got tickets on the floor (also called the house section). Welcome to a new era! The humor and jokes were absolutely vulgar. And they weren't funny. The first part of the night includes a combination video and on stage play with a clever story line. Overall this part was good fun but the jokes were disgusting. The videos before intermission included a woman flashing the audience. The Olio is the next part of the evening and includes dancers and singers and a few clever variety acts. We loved the old woman playing When The Saints Go Marching In. But again - the jokes were all sexually explicit and crude. And then the final act is the Mule Train which we all loved. This type of clever humor was what we hoped for the whole evening. Overall - We were disappointed in the vulgarity of the evening in contrast to the old SM. Our friends had planned to bring their adult family members in a few weeks but decided not to go and will try to sell their tickets. I would not want to sit next to my mother or children and watch this!! I also recognize that we may not be their target audience. We considered leaving at intermission but kept hoping it would get less offensive. But it didn't. What we did love were the people - all of the workers (who I think are mostly volunteers) were fun , helpful and very nice. We loved throwing popcorn. And the singalongs (who doesn't love singing Deep in the Heart of Texas). Here are some suggestions if you choose to go - Popcorn - This is the number one activity of the evening. Popcorn bags are one token. Each token is $5. Some people buy a bag of popcorn each. These are the people who don't want to throw popcorn or have popcorn thrown at them. The majority of the people buy LOTS of popcorn. We bought 4 bags of popcorn and that lasted through the first intermission. We bought many more throughout the evening. We had a fun popcorn war with the people behind us. At the end of the night they only sell large bags which are 4 tokens ($20). Some people would dump an entire bag on one person. We spent about $200 on popcorn. I would guess there was about 4" of popcorn in the floor at the end of the night. Tickets - If you can't get tickets on the house level or the pit I would say don't bother. You can't throw popcorn in the balcony and that's the best part of the evening. To buy the tickets in larger numbers you might need to be ready to buy them immediately when they go on sale. Clothing and Popcorn - You will come home with popcorn in your hair and pockets and just about everywhere! The oil from the popcorn sticks to your skin and hair. I wore tennis shoes and was glad. Might be hard to walk in the popcorn in sandals. Concessions - They serve beer, a few mixed drinks, margaritas (tasted like sugar water) and sangria (which was pretty good). The beer is one token and the mixed drinks were two tokens. You can also pay a token for a souvenir cup with a lid (highly suggest). Water cups are free. There is no food except for popcorn. Yucca Theater - Charming old theater but with that brings poor air conditioning (it was warm!) and congested areas around the bar and entry area. But the restrooms were pretty nice for an old theater. read more

Went to Summer Mummers for the first time since 2012 and it is an must to go see if you are visiting Midland in the summer on a weekend. It is crazy hilarity and lots of laughs. Throwing popcorn can get your jewelry loose and clothes dirty, so go very casual and get ready for popcorn everywhere. This is a big fundraiser for the Midland Community Theatre, and an absolute must if you are going to Midland in the summer. Just be aware that Summer Mummers is geared toward adults, and in addition to being messy it is rowdy & bawdy, and messy. I wouldn't take the kids or grandma to see Summer Mummers. read more

I LOVE this place. Love it. Loooooove it. Been coming here for Summer Mummers for almost 20 years now, and have made it to the annual Rocky Horror Picture Show for the past 6 years. Such a cool old venue and the Hamhocks have done an awesome job using it and keeping it going. Anything is better at the Yucca! read more

Great piece of Midland's theatrical & performing arts history! It has a great atmosphere, with an "Arabian Nights" decor to it. So antique & classic! I've been to a variety of different plays & events here. They have some areas where you can sit at a table for enjoying food &/or drink with your show, & they also have the regular theatre seats for smaller, shorter, matinee shows. Great location for the annual "Summer Mummers" in historic downtown Midland! It may just be a challenge finding a good & convenient location to park. I'm also not sure if the concession stand or bar is set up to accept any payment other than cash. But I've enjoyed coming here! read more

Summer mummers was a blast! The staff was great! Especially a lady named Erica who made sure my party got the best experience. The officers who were there too not only made me feel safe but had a sense of humor too. Thank you all cast and staff for a great time. We will be back to do it again next year! read more

I'm giving this 2 stars because the theatre itself is Amazing to see. The show "Summer Mummers" not so much. We love the theater and this is more of a drunk fest party. I'm sure when we were 20 I would have loved this, but I was going for the show and we left at intermission. You can not even hear what the actors are saying and we were in the balcony away from the craziness. I researched before I ever bought my tickets and I was aware of popcorn throwing but had no clue this was not an actual theater show. read more
