MTC is a professional theatre in the North Bay serving 30,000 patrons and nearly 3,000 students annually. We are committed to the development and production of new plays, including a comprehensive New Play Program with productions of world premieres, two nationally recognized annual playwriting awards, and readings and workshops by the nation’s best emerging and established playwrights. MTC’s robust arts education program stems from the belief that there is a profound connection between education and art with each inspiring and reinforcing the other. Arts education classes provide a creative, diverse and supportive environment where students can take risks and grow. Students are given the opportunity to explore their imaginations, build self-esteem, practice public speaking, and develop teamwork and cooperation skills, which will enrich their lives, build a strong work ethic, develop self-confidence, and set them on a path to success in school and in their communities.
