Our mission is simple.

To consistently produce and advocate for high-quality community musical theatre for London, Ontario, Canada and the surrounding area.

Productions

MTP’s two-three annual productions are chosen through a formal proposal process where members of the London, Ontario, community are encouraged to submit their ideas for consideration.

Interested parties must form a complete artistic team comprising of producer, director, musical director, choreographer and stage manager who are prepared to produce a show. Musical productions are selected on an annual basis.

For more information on the selection process or to submit a proposal please contact us.

equity, diversity and inclusion

In 2020-2021, Musical Theatre Productions reflected on how to better understand and enact Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our organization. With the generous support of a grant from the London Arts Council, MTP is partnered with Impact Consulting through Pillar Nonprofit Network to support MTP in nurturing an equity-oriented and inclusive environment and culture, whereby all volunteers and audience members feel safe and supported. The project will be used to develop a stronger understanding of DEI and how it can be embedded across MTP's programming as we continue to learn.
