McLaughlin Theatre Company was established 10 years ago. Since 2009, the company has put on more than 50 shows, ranging from mini musicals to main stage productions. MTC offers theatrical workshops for all ages and skill levels, as well as audition-only musical stage productions for those looking for even more of a challenge. Our directors and choreographers promote an encouraging and exciting learning environment that is designed to push aspiring actors, singers, and dancers to strive for their full potential, so that they will be better prepared for entry into the real world industry.

Sierra Performing Arts Association, a not-for-profit 501-C3 corporation, sees MTC as a way to enhance appreciation of music and related arts by providing workshops, performances and festivals for all ages.

Since Sierra Performing Arts Association's inception in 2000 the organization has worked with local schools and community businesses to teach the importance of music participation and appreciation. Our newest project, the McLaughlin Theatre Company is another opportunity to reach members of our community by focusing on the rewarding and educational benefits of music and theatre.
