MTH Education & Outreach Programs
Taught by Kansas City’s top Theater Artists, the goal of our education and outreach programs is to design and implement a ground-breaking curriculum that immerses children and adults in the joy of musical theater.
Summer Camps
Our innovative musical summer camps for kids are nationally recognized and a heckuva lotta fun.
Scholar Series
MTH’s Scholar Series is a way to connect to the source material that inspired the musicals. An opportunity to come together in community to discuss the novel or play the musical was based on, to screen the film adaptation and discuss the similarities and differences, as well as collectively attending MTH’s production and engaging in the post-show discussion with the actors. TOTALLY FREE TO ATTEND* we will also provide light snacks and wine to commemorate the fellowship! Unless otherwise noted, all events take place at MTH!
*does not include tickets to the MTH production
