MMC allowed me to become a well-rounded theater artist. I was able to take courses in every aspect of theater, plus the liberal arts, and without that, I would not be running two theater companies today. The skills I learned at MMC have given me the confidence that’s necessary to succeed in theatre.

You leave a safe environment with an amazing support network of friends, professors, and mentors, and suddenly are in the real world. MMC allowed me to become a well-rounded theater artist.
