Since opening their doors 5 years ago, MMP has done tons of shows with thousands of youth in our community, including theater education for children and special needs adults through rehearsal and workshop classes – all this as a tax exempt non-profit company striving to keep the arts alive.
The educational classes enrich participants by expanding creativity and enhancing confidence while conveying the importance of Theater Arts to the community through fun and entertaining performances. With over 16 years stage and 10 years instruction expertise, MMP’s founders have created a structured, educational, and fun program to maximize the theater experience, both on and off the stage.
Award Winning Performers
Every year MMP actors and actresses are nominated for and win Elly Awards. The annual Elly Awards honor outstanding achievements of community theaters and artists in the Sacramento area. Elly Awards are named for the late Eleanor McClatchy, who was a devoted patron of the local arts. Just this week MMP announced 16 nominations for the prestigious award.
They have something for everyone!

Elk Grove Needs a Community Theater
Although Elk Grove Unified School District has wonderful theaters at Cosumnes Oaks High School and Sheldon High School, they are not enough. Every year theater groups come together to compete for theater space and many have to do without. Luckily, the City of Elk Grove is moving forward on its plans to build their civic center complex. As part of the complex, a community theater is being discussed.
