TESTIMONIALS
"Musical Theatre East has given me the opportunity of seeing what it's like to work in every aspect of theatre. From ensemble, to leads, to working right alongside the director, there is nothing short of opportunity here. The community that is built in this space has provided me with lifelong memories & friends."
ABIGAIL, STUDENT/INTERN
"MTE has been a core part of my high-school years and I have made many close friends and fun memories. The production team really values heart and personality behind their productions and casting. There are countless opportunities to grow at MTE as a performer, or even as a techie/intern. Most of all, the productions are focused on glorifying God and being a shining light to those around us".
