We aim to be a home to people from all backgrounds. We do not discriminate based on race, national or ethnic origin, citizen status, veteran status, ancestry, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis of discrimination.

Our work impacts young people and families across our community through three key programs: 1) a season of live theater on our mainstage at the Grandel Theater in Grand Center, 2) touring productions that perform in schools, community centers, and in partnership with other organizations across the St. Louis region and across the country, and 3) residencies, workshops, and professional development programs in schools across the region. MTC is proud to adapt our Say Something, Do Something, an anchor residency program which uses theater, role playing, and improvisation to address violence prevention in youth, to be part of DAP’s Give Respect, Get Respect initiative.
MTC believes that diversity and inclusion in our staff and on our stage is critical to our success in the workplace and across our community.
