Programs include innovative productions, script readings, open mics, audioplays, monthly livestreams, educational workshops, and opportunities for and with underserved communities of San Jose and the South Bay Area. MMMA’s programs include:

Writers Launchpad is MMMA’s yearly script incubator program. MMMA Directors choose four to five scripts and select the cast for each. The directors and writers then implement a once-a-week series of rehearsals over a two-month period; the rehearsals double as workshops for the writers. Writers use the feedback from their directors and actors to make edits to the script. Scripts are debuted for a festival of table reads to a live audience. Originally a live and in person series, this year it has moved online to adjust to our current world.

Story Chain was initiated as a way to continue to create together during COVID-19. For Story Chain, community members come together virtually and create a full length script from start to finish over the course of a couple months. Writers pitch, write, and edit together to create a full-length show and to learn tips and tricks from each other. New writers and those with more experience work together to create a script that reflects a bit of each of the creators.

Trespass Theatre takes theatre from the stage to your neighborhood. Local writers and artists are able to create a piece that is centered around a specific space in the Bay Area. MMMA has performed outdoor shows in parks that have focused on climate change, and a LGBTQ+ show in the Billy DeFrank Center. The goal is to create theatre that is accessible and available to everyone while celebrating the uniqueness of the South Bay. MMMA is planning a schedule of shows for Spring 2021 to perform safely outdoors.
