Co-Producers
The lifeblood of Midland Community Theatre is the partnership between our sponsors and the organization. Sponsor and Underwriter contributions help MCT maintain affordable ticket prices so people who live in our community and who visit our city may enjoy entertaining theatre experiences and provide their children with quality arts education.
It always seems to surprise people when they learn that ticket sales do not fully cover the costs of operating MCT! Of each dollar that comes into the theatre, only 53¢ comes from box office and membership sales. The other 47¢ comes from contributions offered by individuals, corporations and foundations.
