Part Epic Tale, Part Fire Sale: BIG FISH beautifully stitches the fantastical world of Edward Bloom, filled with witches, giants and mermaids, with that of his son, who yearns to separate the truth from the tale, and discover who his father truly is before it’s too late. Audiences are invited to follow the Bloom family as they come together, fall apart, fight the dragon, and – Surprise ending, wouldn’t want to ruin it for ya. #MTPFish

REALITY…

BLOOD BROTHERS
Book, Music & Lyrics by Willy Russell
May 2025
Auburn Stage - The Grand Theatre

BLOOD BROTHERS is the heart-wrenching tale of two twin boys separated at birth and fated to die on the same day. Though divided by class, the young brothers are nonetheless drawn back to one another, forming a fierce friendship that carries them through to adulthood. Only their mothers know the truth of their relation, and if that truth is revealed, they may just pay the ultimate price. #MTPBrothers

CONFIDENTIAL MUSICAL THEATRE PROJECT
SEPTEMBER 2024

The show is a secret. The actors rehearse alone. They meet for the first and only time, in front of a live audience. And once the show starts, it doesn't stop—for anything! First mounted in Toronto in 2014 before sweeping cities around the world, the CONFIDENTIAL MUSICAL THEATRE PROJECT is a uniquely irreplicable experience celebrating the immediacy and spontaneity of live theatre, brought to London for the first time in a special season kick-off event for MTP. #MTPConfidential

SILVER SPOTLIght THEATRE

London’s first community theatre branch for those 55+

MTP’s new branch of our organization - Silver Spotlight Theatre - is dedicated to producing musicals with those 55 years and older in our community!

“I think it’s a great idea,” says co-director of Silver Spotlight’s first production Rick Smith. “I know a lot of people have an interest in doing something in theatre, but the opportunities just aren’t there. The older people often feel like they’ve been put to pasture and this opportunity will be an important outlet for them. It helps keep people young and it’ll be a lot of fun for them.”

Silver Spotlight Theatre presented its inaugural production of Rodgers & Hart's BABES IN ARMS in March 2023 on the Auburn Stage at the Grant Theatre, and plans are already in the works for their next production. MTP has been at the forefront of musical theatre in London's community theatre scene since its founding in 1988. And now, with this new branch, Silver Spotlight Theatre, MTP is proud to open opportunities for more members of the community to experience the joys of musical theatre. Stayed tuned for audition information for Silver Spotlight Theatre’s next production GREASE coming May 2024!
