Media Theatre for Performing Arts

The mission of the Media Theatre Company is to promote and nurture the imagination, diversity, and joy unique to music theatre by the production of new and classic works; to herald music theatre to young people as an art form that is relevant to their lives and to foster an understanding by them that it is indigenous to their cultural heritage. WHAT WE DO IS INSPIRE LIVES, IMPROVE LIVES, AND EDUCATE THROUGH MUSIC THEATRE! Not only do we have a full season of mainstage Broadway musicals and children's programming, we also have a highly respected summer camp for ages 6 and up, plus a teen camp each summer which produces its own musicals . Add to that our State Street Miracles performance troupe of adults with developmental disabilities, and it equals one very important reason why THE MEDIA THEATRE is one of Delaware County's jewels. Simply put, musical theatre is the great AMERICAN contribution to the art of theatre. Our mission can be more fully realized as the community sees the Media Theatre not as a building, but as the home of a nationally recognized, community inspired professional music Theatre Company. The theatre's identity in the community is established by the quality of the art it creates and it is the responsibility of the theatre put forth the message that the art of live theatre has tremendous value to the cultural health of this region. It is truly a testament to the power of live theatre that almost 80 years later, in an era of iPODS, cell phones, video games, and blackberries, that an old vaudeville house propels the artistic, cultural, and economic enhancement of Delaware County. The Media Theatre is proud to serve all ages and peoples by teaching them about the incomparable joy of live theatrical entertainment.
