Known
simply as MTH, our organization was founded in 1998 by George
Harter, as a 501c3 production company to entertain and enlighten
new generations with the legacy of the American art form known
as Musical Comedy.
MTH
presents classic musical theater and review performances in
the 240 seat, Off Center Theatre at the Crown Center Shops in
Kansas City. These are professional productions using all local
talent and are presented in concert or semi-staged form. Past
productions include: Guys & Dolls, On The Town, Carousel,
Man of LaMancha, The Fantastics, Into The Woods, Brigadoon
and The Pajama Game. MTH original productions include:
Bernstein's Broadway and a review of songs by Jacques
Brel.
MTH
also produces "A Night on the Town", a weekly syndicated
radio show on the American Musical, written and hosted by George
Harter and sponsored by the historic Algonquin Hotel in New
York City.
In
Kansas City, "A Night on the Town" is heard on KPR,
at 91.5 FM, Saturday nights at 9. The program is also heard
in Dallas, Atlanta, south Florida and on New York Public Radio.
Special licensing arrangements enable us to also make the show
available as a free download on this website.
Several
times a year, MTH takes theater fans
to New York for organized trips that include Broadway shows,
fine dining, four nights at the Algonquin Hotel and fascinating
insights into the history of Broadway and the American Musical.
