Growing the College | HARBISON THEATRE AT MTC
> Since the curtain rose at HT@MTC, more than 100,000 people have shared in experiencing a diverse range of acts in the theatre’s five seasons. Each year has brought internationally renowned talent and regionally acclaimed acts to the stage in the intimate 400-seat venue.
> In 2016-17, in addition to the season acts, Harbison Theatre helped produce additional programming to more than 1,500 students in the MTC service area. Ranging from the famed Second City comedians hosting student improv workshops, Troker teaching a master class to band students at an area high school, or Tom Dugan from Wiesenthal hosting special matinee performances of his one-man show exclusively for schools in the Midlands, many of the performers in each season offer additional educational opportunities during their time in the Midlands.
Making Lives Better | HARBISON THEATRE AT MTC
> Harbison Theatre at Midlands Technical College made its first major foray in presenting performers from abroad, welcoming jazz-rock-hiphop-mariachi fusion band Troker from Guadalajara, Mexico; and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, one of South Africa,s most prolific recording artists who appeared on Paul Simon’s famed Graceland album.
> HT@MTC received more than $14,000 in grant funding to support residency visits by professional, contemporary dance companies prior to their on-stage performances. Harbison Theatre has quickly become one of the region’s chief presenters of contemporary dance through its partnership with the Dance Touring Initiative presented by South Arts. The initiative exists to provide presenters with a galvanizing, transformative process that creates a dynamic impact on artists, audiences, and communities. This process empowers performing arts venues to develop a sustainable approach to the art of presenting modern dance and contemporary ballet.
