The Artistic Home Of:
Missouri Technical Theater Institute
The Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts (MTCA) is excited to offer a new program for Columbia's young adults. High school juniors and seniors now have the chance to learn all aspects of technical theater work that are behind the performing arts experience – lights, sound, scenic construction and more. There will be opportunities to earn as they learn as participants will have the chance to serve as paid technical theater staff upon completion of the program.
MTTI classes will take place after school and under the guidance of MTCA's Production Manager, Tyler Richardson. Our hope is to inspire students to achieve greater academic success by exposing them to lessons in an exciting and creative theatrical atmosphere, while simultaneously instilling strong work and professional ethics for long-term career goals.
