We are the longest running community theatre organization in Indy. A huge part of our success and longevity comes from our understanding of just how important it is to make performing at the Barn feel like home. When you take the stage at MCP, you become part of our theatre family. We are dedicated to providing rewarding community theater opportunities for all ages and all skill levels.
