The Making of a Musical
What you see on stage is the product of months of planning and rehearsal. The planning phases of a musical begin in January. Auditions are in September and rehearsals are generally 4 days a week for 2-3 hours. Students and parents sacrifice their time and lend their talents both on stage and behind the scenes to create theatre magic.
The financial costs of production are steep and rising daily:
Royalties and Rights $1000-$4000
Costume, Prop and Set Rentals $4000
Personnel $3000
Publicity $1000
Company Snacks $500
Company Celebration $500
The Mechanicsville Theatre Company could not survive without ticket sales, concessions sales and the generous donations of our patrons.
If you or your business would like to partner with MTC to ensure that we can continue to provide quality entertainment experiences for our students and community please reach out to the boosters at mtcdramaboosters@gmail.com
No donation is too small and ALL donations are tax deductible.
