Music Theater Works, founded in 1980, presents the full spectrum of musical theater, to create a bridge for all audiences from classic works to the present day; and to engage youth and community in music, theater, and the arts. The company was founded in 1980 as Light Opera Works by Bridget McDonough, Phillip Kraus, and others to present operettas. Productions in our 42 years have included operetta, musicals, revues, and concerts. Music Theater Works also has a robust program of community partnerships, CommunityREACH, and programs for young people, YouthREACH.

Music Theater Works is committed to inclusion and diversity, from show selection to casting to creative teams, and to engaging with the community to create a more responsive, inclusive, and equitable organization. Our values are:

1. We care about what aspect of the world we are putting on stage.
2. We are additive to the cultural landscape.
3. We support artists over time and through multiple projects.
4. Music is a vital connection to our artistic image of theater.
5. The art we produce is not separable from the communities in which we exist
6. We support equity and diversity on and off stage.

We welcome you to our 43rd season!
