Meadville Community Theatre is an all volunteer organization. However, that does not mean we have no costs. In order to put on a show, we need to purchase rights, build sets, create costumes and props, and pay administrative costs. We attempt to keep our ticket prices low to remain accessible to as much of our community as possible, but this means ticket revenue does not cover our entire budget. We rely on those who can give to make up the shortfall.
Support from the community is vital to MCT’s ability to provide quality theatrical productions, special events, youth-oriented opportunities, and more. We gratefully accept donations in a variety of ways:
Meadville Community Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your gift is tax-deductible.
