MTC Senior Fall 2026

Please remember that the group will practice Monday-Thursday

and they are required in order to be in the shows on the weekend.

If you have a school/grade impacted event that you already know is a conflict, please let us know as soon as possible so arrangements can be made. Sporting events, travels, etc are not excused absences for show week.

Please note there is a Friday morning, school preview show that is during the day. This means that students will be missing school Friday morning. We will have excuse letters you can give to the schools that they may or may not accept. If you are planning to not be at the Friday morning show, we need to know that as soon as possible so other performers can cover your student’s part that morning.

If you have a class or group that would like to attend the Friday morning shows, please have them reach out to us as soon as possible. We can offer group seating and pricing for groups larger that 20, but we need to block it off before we start ticket sales if possible. Just before class is dismissed, whisper to Ms. Holly the secret word Scrumdiddlyumptious.

• MTC attire is black shorts or pants (length should be at least mid-thigh for shorts, it is not recommended to wear soffe/volleyball shorts or "mini" skorts) and a MTC t-shirt provided by Masterworks.
• Students may always wear clothing purchased through the MTC store except for tank tops. Watch for sales throughout the year!
• Students need to have tennis shoes or dance shoes on during class. Please no sandals or boots as they will be doing dance each week.
• If a student comes to class out of MTC attire, they may have to sit out until proper attire is provided.

Order show logo items! The store runs sales frequently; take advantage of a discount on tshirts, hoodies, hats, etc. During a time when Ms. Holly is walking around or standing up, after 6pm, go up to her and say No unauthorized personnel beyond this point! These are not required for class, but students are welcome to wear any gear bought to class each week. And don’t forget, they have “parent gear” as well!

• All shows are held at the Charles Mack Citizen Center in downtown Mooresville
• Each person over the age of 1 attending a show has to have a ticket/seat purchased, this is a Citizen Center/fire marshal rule
• All seats are reserved for you when you purchase a ticket. When you go to the show you wish to attend, a seating chart will be shown allowing you to choose where in the theater you would like to sit. There is no need to come super early anymore, as your seat is reserved for you at each show.
• When you purchase tickets, you will need to make sure you have the digital ticket or a printed version with you at the shows to scan and enter the theater. You are able to add these to digital wallets like other events you attend.
• All tickets are non-refundable. It is HIGHLY recommended that you do not purchase tickets for all your family and friends who are interested but have them visit the website, click the large button for MTC tickets and purchase their own tickets. All too many times we see families purchase large amounts of tickets and then people aren't able to make it and we will not be able to refund these tickets.
• The shows for Jr. indicate which cast is performing at which show. Please make sure you have your friends and family select the correct cast so they make it to the correct show. We will not exchange or refund tickets if the cast that they were supposed to see has already had their performances.
• We can exchange tickets up to 24 hours before the first show.
• We will give parents a heads up as shows begin to sell out.

If you have any questions, please let us know!

Review these videos weekly!

In the video below, Myla is standing in for Lily F and Keatyn is standing in for Jack.

WATCH Elizabeth B right after the straight line and spinning section. She has very specific steps to get to her next group AND she does a funny little move to turn around. I would love for EVERYONE to have a plan of movement that lasts all the way to the next section of lyrics similar to what Elizabeth is doing.

We enjoy working with kids and in the world of theater arts! We have high expectations for behavior and performance as well as encouraging a love of musical theater!

• Mrs. Holly graduated from Montreat-Anderson College and has been directing shows for 34 years, 19 of which have been at Masterworks.
• Mrs. Felicia has a degree in instrumental music (band) with dance minor from Winthrop University and has 30 years working in theater.
• Mrs. Heather has 36 years of learning multiple styles of dance ranging from ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop, and ballroom. She has collectively worked in the space of musical theater for 11 years. The bulk of her career has been in coaching and choreography for AcroFitness.

ALL Theater Company information will be available on your Portals! The portal is what you used to sign up for auditions and you may have used it if you have already taken lessons or classes at Masterworks.

If you have not created a log in, or can't find the original email from weeks ago, email the school and we will resend your login information.

If you use the Student Portal and sync your calendar, it will automatically sync for you on your device when we load it to the system.
