The organization has focused significant energy toward developing its reputation and organizational foundation in recent years. Its budget has tripled in the past four years and has consistently remained in the black. MBTC has forecasted steady growth based on conservative income projections. In 1993 MBTC moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Artistically, enthusiastic audiences and major newspapers have acknowledged the strong creative energy and unique brand of theater offered by the Company.
Students come from throughout the country and as far away as Venezuela, Australia, and Hungary.
MBTC produces one major production each year as well as smaller projects, a student production with students of the Professional Training Lab, and one fully produced, community Open House. In addition, the Company plans to reestablish its touring program, both nationally and internationally. MBTC is currently studying the feasibility of purchasing an historic church to renovate for use as a studio and 150-seat performance space. It has received a significant grant from the city to carry out the initial phase of the study. In addition to the two artistic directors, the staff includes a director of education and part-time administrative assistant.
