Production Schedule

Dangerous Daughters
Book by Nick Stimson, Music and Lyrics by Annemarie Lewis Thomas
Directed & choreographed by Racky Plews, Designed by Stewart Charlesworth
Time to introduce the next lot of graduates coming through.
Dangerous Daughters was the first musical commissioned by The MTA back in 2010. Since then it has been extensively workshopped, and is currently being edited, ready to be published by Samuel French (with a percentage of profits being donated to The MTA Student Hardship Fund).
This is the first opportunity to see the ‘finished product’ in London. What was the human cost to the Suffragette movement, specifically to the Pankhurst Family? This musical explores the relationships, both political and familial between the 3 daughters of Emmeline Pankhurst. How a movement that eventually makes a country stronger, can actually see the demise of a once, close knit family. As relevant today as it was back then – with some countries STILL forbidding women the right to vote, and therefore by default, the right to have a voice.
13th – 16th September at The Bridewell Theatre
Acting Showcase on 14th Sept, MT Showcase on 15th Sept Both @ 1pm at the Bridewell Theatre
Directed by Tilly Vosburgh, choreographed by Alan Bradshaw

Unlike all other UK college our students do a public performance at the end of every term.
The schedule for these performances are as follows:
December:
2nd years perform a pantomime, whilst the 1st years make their debut in a play.
March:
The entire college come together for our annual Musical Theatre Revue (this is the first opportunity for 2nd years to accept agent representation). The show is devised around our graduating year group.
June:
The entire college come together to perform a musical (the lead roles will be played by those 2nd year students still seeking representation)
September:
The 1st years will perform an original musical, commissioned by the college, whilst the 2nd years complete the course with an industry focussed acting showcase and a musical theatre showcase.
The final date of our academic year is also the date of our unique Gradunion…our annual graduation ceremony combined with our annual reunion of all MTA Ambassadors…because The MTA truly is – A College For Life!
