Consolidated in 1985
Muskegon Civic Theatre is a consolidation of the former Civic Opera Association, Port City Playhouse and Muskegon Youth Theatre. The histories of the combined theatre groups has spanned decades of service in the greater Muskegon area.
MCT is governed by a board of directors and operates under an approved set of policies and procedures.
Muskegon Civic Theatre is the only community theatre in Muskegon County. Our organization utilizes volunteers in all aspects of the performing arts. During the course of a production season we utilize the contributions of up to 350 volunteers which equates to approximately 30,000 hours of volunteer time. For every actor on stage there are numerous technicians behind the scenes.
