Directors’ Note:
The mission of MCC Theater is to provoke conversations that otherwise might not happen. We continue this mission in the Youth Company by helping young people further develop their voices as artists, and to give a platform for those voices to be shared with the world.
Each year we explore a theme related to the idea of Identity. This year we identified our resilience and ability for regeneration as area to explore, and landed on the symbol of the phoenix to represent our journey. This is devised theater. Created and performed entirely by the MCC Theater Youth Company Performance Lab. This year it will be performed directly from our homes to yours.
Thank you to everyone who has worked to keep theater alive.
