Mission
The mission of the Media Theatre Company is to promote and nurture the imagination, diversity, and joy unique to music theatre by the production of new and classic works; to herald music theatre to young people as an art form that is relevant to their lives and to foster an understanding by them that it is indigenous to their cultural heritage.

Description
Founded in 1994, the Media Theatre is one of the largest presenters of professional music theatre in the Philadelphia region and in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The theatre, which started as a for-profit venture in '94, switched over to non-profit status in 2000. We have close to 400 Theatre School students from the surrounding area, which includes West Chester, Wilmington, and Delaware plus Montgomery counties. A past Barrymore Award winner (Featured Actress in a Musical, Jennie Eisenhower, for 'The Wild Party') we have received eight Barrymore nominations, including one for Broadway actress Ann Crumb for this past season's Souvenir. Thousands of school students from elementary to high school have attended our presentations in the past decade, becoming educated through music theatre by seeing live stage productions of shows such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Oklahoma! Tony winner and Il Divo member David Miller performed his first (and to this date only) solo concert here five years ago, and our stage has also been home to Tony winners Betty Buckley and Judy Kaye. Artistic Director Jesse Cline oversees all aspects of the theatre's stage presentations and theatre school, with a dedicated staff supervised by Patrick Ward.
