MOUNTAIN THEATRE COMPANY Mountain Theatre Company, Western North Carolina’s premier professional theatre company, is celebrating its Sapphire Anniversary with the launch of its 85th season! Mountain Theatre Company brings in professional perform- ers, technicians and designers from across the country each season to present high-quality productions. Its Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) production will premiere in Spring of 2023, and MTC’s annual holiday show has become a Highlands entertainment tradition in December that is not to be missed! Mountain Theatre Company is one of North Carolina’s oldest regional theatre companies and is the legacy of Highlands’ early forward-thinking families. The first troupe, all amateurs, began using the Highlands School auditorium in the mid-1930s. They formally organized by the late 1930s as the Highlands Little Theatre. Over the years, the troupe grew from a community theatre to a professional summer stock company, performing in The Highlands Playhouse. Today, audiences will be enchanted by a full season of professional live theatre at the Highlands Performing Arts Center. Its 2023 Mainstage Season includes:
of mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter, where they meet a houseful of wild
characters, including a rocking biker, a creepy butler, and an assortment of other crazy creatures. This delib- erately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is a hu- morous tribute to the science fiction and horror B mov- ies of the late 1940s through early 1970s. Live on stage, and presented as only MTC can, it is more fun than ever! December 8 – 24: Home for the Holidays Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with Mountain Theatre Company as they present their annual holiday spectacular! Fun for all ages, this festive season- al music revue promises dazzling costumes, high energy choreography, and is sure to fill audiences with plenty of
good, old-fashioned holiday cheer! For tickets and more information,
