MCC's Public Engagement and Education Department continued three major initiatives in the 2022-2023 season: The MCC Theater Youth Company, MCC Classroom Partnerships and Student Matinees. Through these programs, MCC directly served approximately 1,400 young people. In the 2022-2023 season, MCC continued its Public Engagement initiative which included: multiple themed audience conversations and expert led talkbacks that aligned with each production, as well as community centered free events and workshops, in collaboration with local community partners. All other Public Engagement initiatives served approximately 1,000 members of our community.

MCC's Artistic Department continued to develop new work through Discovery Readings, PlayLabs, and projects tracked for production. In the 2022-2023 season, MCC continued the PlayLab Initiative, through experimental readings of new plays, and continued our our SongLab program, which follows the PlayLab model but for musicals.
