WHO ARE WE?
Musical Theatre Repertory at USC
Musical Theatre Repertory at the University of Southern California was established in 2005 and is dedicated to enriching students’ lives through the production of quality musical theatre. As the only student theatre group committed to producing musicals at USC, our goal is to provide students with the opportunity to participate in musical theatre pieces supplementary to those produced by USC. Find us online at www.uscmtr.com for more information about the company, donations, ticketing details, upcoming events, production stills, and even a few production videos! Thank you for supporting the arts and we can't wait to see you at our upcoming shows!
WHAT WE NEED:
MTR is run exclusively by USC students. We receive no outside support from faculty or professional companies. Since our company is entirely student-run, each one of us puts in an enormous amount of time and effort to bring our productions to the stage. That being said, our financial resources are limited and our student production designers rely on the support of our donors to bring their designs to life. Funds we raise will be used to cover costs associated with lighting, sound, costumes, scenery, props, royalties, venue rentals and more. These key elements are vital not only in helping our production reach its full potential but also in providing design students with valuable production opportunities!
WHY 'SPRING AWAKENING'?
The winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, SPRING AWAKENING explores the complex journey from adolescence to adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgettable. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll told through lens of teenagers in late-19th century Germany.
THE IMPACT:
This campaign will drastically increase the caliber of our performance, and we hope that by producing high-quality independent student productions, we can support other student groups to provide as many opportunities as possible for USC students! MTR has been producing musicals for and by the students during the past two decades now. Our goal for this year is to expand and further support the SDA community by providing valuable career and professional events, such as dance workshops, alumni networking events, audition preparation workshops and more.
