Encore musical night at Huron County Medical Care Facility


Dining Services at Huron County Medical Care Facility presented the art and history of Musicals as part of the Encore series in August.

Residents were invited to a Musical themed party where they learned interesting facts and history about the art of Musicals and Broadway. A game of Musical Bingo was also played. Residents listened to famous songs from historical Musicals such as Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady and West Side Story. As they recognized the songs they would cross them out on their bingo cards. Many in the room recalled the songs and were surprised that some of these famous songs actually came from Musicals. While playing bingo, the residents enjoyed a homemade Mermaid Pie which was the award winning pie from the recent Broadway hit, Waitress and some “Wicked” punch in honor of the musical with the same name. Bingo prizes were Musical themed as well, including concession stand-style treats and costume props like masks, hats and jewelry.

In keeping with the Musical theme, the featured meal included Russian foods and American Diner foods in honor of the musicals, “The Great Comet” and “Waitress”. The menu included Classic Hamburger, Kielbasa with Pierogis, and Apple Pie.

Later in the month the residents were treated to a performance by a local community theater which included some of our own staff. The residents enjoyed songs from Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat while munching on rainbow style treats. The performance definitely had the residents shouting ENCORE!
