Join Marshfield Community Theatre’s Performance Troupes!

What Are the Performance Troupes?

MCT’s Performance Troupes are an incredible opportunity for performers of all ages and experience levels to dive into the world of musical theatre. As ambassadors for Marshfield Community Theatre and its Education Department, our troupers perform at various community events, showcasing their talents and representing the heart of MCT.

Whether you’re new to theatre or a seasoned performer, our troupes offer a safe, welcoming environment to learn and grow. You’ll receive hands-on training in acting, singing, and dancing, with opportunities to perform in exciting events throughout the year.
