The Community Theatre Chairs listed above and the Executive Director are here to assist you and your theatre. Please let us know if you have questions regarding running your community theatre.
In addition to hosting the statewide community theatre festival we also host a workshop geared toward community theatres. The workshop focuses on the needs of community theatres in our State. If you have suggestions for workshops – be sure to let us know.
Any theatre that wants to compete at the MTA Festival must be registered as a community theatre. See the following rules and guidelines for more information or contact our festival chairs listed above.

Individual Events for Adults! Your time to step into the spotlight! If you are not participating in a community theatre production entered in the 2011 MTA Festival you still have a chance to step into the “spotlight” by participating in the Individual Events. Perform a 60 second monologue or a monologue/song selection (90 seconds) or find a partner and perform a duet. Top awards will be given at the festival.
