OUR VISION IS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A PREMIER TEACHING AND PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATION FOR YOUTH, THIER FAMILIES, AND OUR COMMUNITY.

STAGE SCHOOL: THE GOAL OF CHILDREN'S MUSICAL THEATER'S STAGE SCHOOL IS TO OFFER TRAINING CLASSES IN EACH DISCIPLINE OF MUSICAL THEATER, ACTING, MUSIC AND DANCE, SO THAT STUDENTS BECOME TRUE TRIPLE THREATS. STAGE SCHOOL CLASSES ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD ON ONE ANOTHER AND STUDENTS WILL ACHIEVE SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES IN EACH 12-16 WEEK SESSION. EACH MEMBER OF OUR STAGE SCHOOL STAFF IS AN EXPERT IN THEIR DISCIPLINE AND IS TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE STUDENTS' ABILITIES AND CHALLENGE THEM TO REACH THE NEXT LEVEL OF THEIR CRAFT. CMT'S STAGE SCHOOL PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO HONE THEIR PERFORMANCE SKILLS AND GROW IN TEAMWORK, CREATIVITY, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND SELF CONFIDENCE.

MAINSTAGE: WE HAD TWO MAINSTAGE SHOWS THIS SEASON BECAUSE WE HAD TO DELAY OUR SUMMER 2020 SHOW TO JANUARY AND WE ALSO HAD OUR NORMAL 2021 SUMMER SHOW. THE FIRST MAINSTAGE WAS "THE MUSIC MAN" WHERE WE CAST 60 STUDENTS AGES 7-17 AND THE SECOND MAINSTAGE WAS "MATILDA" WHERE WE CAST 65 STUDENTS AGES 7-17. THESE ARE THEATRE INTENSIVES IN WHICH A CASTS LEARNED HOW TO PUT ON A FULL SCALE BROADWAY SHOW COMPLETE WITH ELABORATE SETS, COSTUMES AND AN INTRICATE LIGHTING DESIGN. EACH PRODUCTION CASTS STUDENTS WHO LIVE WITHIN A 40 MILE RADIUS OF BARTLESVILLE, OK. CMT HIRES PROFESSIONAL ARTISTIC STAFF TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS, MUSIC DIRECTORS, AND CHOREOGRAPHERS FOR THE MAINSTAGE MUSICALS.
