Theatre

Theatre is a collaborative art form which combines words, voice, movement and visual elements to express meaning. The field of theatre encompasses not only live improvised and scripted work, but also dramatic forms such as film, television and other electronic media.

NOTE: Theater vs. theatre - In American English, the spelling is theater; In Britain and the rest of the English-speaking world, theatre is used.

Maricopa Community Theatre

Maricopa Community Theatre was formed on January 23, 2010, as the baby of Artistic Director, Carrie Vargas. It stemmed from the desire to direct a local production of “The Importance of Being Earnest.”

She knew that Maricopa had abundant talent, and that being nestled in its location, there is a distance for the community to travel to see quality theatre. It is from that knowledge and experience, that Maricopa Community Theatre was created. MCT has established partnerships with the City of Maricopa Parks and Recreation Division, DSPA Gems, Inc and Maricopa Music Circle, among others, to broaden the scope of theatrical performance in Maricopa.

In 2017, the company shifted into a nonprofit corporation and reimagined what theatre could bring to the community. Through grants, donations and lots of blood, sweat and tears, MCT brings multiple opportunities for theatrical performance to the area. Board members, past and present, as well as community members, and cast/crew, have made Maricopa Community theatre what it is today.

And we look forward to many years of producing quality theatre in Maricopa!
