McMaster Musical Theatre (or MMT, as it is often abbreviated) is a theatre company operating in Hamilton, Ontario. It was officially created in 1983 as a McMaster Students Union club, operating out of McMaster University. MMT presents a musical theatre production every February involving volunteer performers, musicians, technicians and crew. MMT is led by an annually-elected executive team and annually-hired production team, who also work in the club on a volunteer basis. The members of the club are ever-changing and made up of both students from McMaster University and non-students.
MMT’s productions have taken place at venues across Hamilton including the Robinson Memorial Theatre, the Downtown Arts Centre, and the Lyric Theatre (previously the Westside Concert Theatre).
The yearly show is chosen by the executive team and licensed from a production rights company such as Music Theatre International, Samuel French, or Tams Witmark. Applications for the production team usually become available at the end of March/early April, with auditions for cast, orchestra and crew applications the following September. Current information regarding auditions, applications, and current productions can be found at MMT's website.[1]
McMaster Musical Theatre officially celebrated its 30-year anniversary with its 2013 production of Spring Awakening.
