TBT - Michael G. Hawkins on JUBILEE, from our 200 TBT - Michael G. Hawkins on JUBILEE, from our 2002-2003 season: "This was MTG’s JUBILEE back when we were at the Pasadena Playhouse. A so-so book by Moss Hart, but a 1935 Cole Porter score that introduced ‘Begin The Beguine,’ ‘Just One Of Those Things,’ and ‘Why Shouldn’t I’ into the Great American Songbook.  I played the Noel Coward character Eric Dare, and had the great good fortune of singing that truly iconic, timeless Porter classic ‘The Kling-Kling Bird On The Divi-Divi Tree!’  Ha! Ain’t show biz grand...!"

Memory Monday- Off-Broadway star Bets Malone on LU Memory Monday- Off-Broadway star Bets Malone on LUCKY STIFF, from our 2002-2003 season: "I loved doing Lucky Stuff with my friends at Musical Theatre Guild and getting to sing one of my favorite Ahrens and Flaherty songs, “At Times Like This.” I’ve sung it several times during these troubling times. No truer words!"

TBT - Broadway star Karen Culliver on GRAND HOTEL TBT - Broadway star Karen Culliver on GRAND HOTEL from our 2002-2003 season: "When I moved from NYC to LA I didn’t know anyone. Soon I connected to MTG and immediately had a group of supportive friends and colleagues. Being a member and participating in shows allowed me to learn all aspects of theatre that I hadn’t experienced before. MTG helped me grow in my craft and stretch into roles that I didn’t know I could do. The role of Grushinskaya is a prime example of this. I played a glamorous, demanding, sometimes funny and cougar-ish, sexy diva! A far cry from Christine in PHANTOM. And I got to play opposite the sexy, talented and younger David Burnham. MTG has been such a gift in my life. " For more information about Musical Theatre Guild and our Broadway concert series, visit www.musicaltheatreguild.com #musicaltheatreguild #mtg #stagedreading #musical #musicaltheatre #musicaltheater #broadwaymusical #broadwaymusicals #lamusicals #lamusicaltheatre #equitystrong #actorsequity #25hours #lathtr #latheater #lamembershipcompany #losangelesmusical #losangelesmusicaltheatre ​#theatrelife #broadway #broadwayshow #singing Photography by Rick Stockwell
TBT - Broadway star Eileen Barnett, on ALLEGRO, fr TBT - Broadway star Eileen Barnett, on ALLEGRO, from our 2002-2003 season: "I went to a theatrical camp as a kid and we actually did a production of ALLEGRO. I think I might have been around 12 years old. I loved the show then, I love it now and I loved doing it with MTG. I know it wasn’t exactly a huge hit for R&H. It was kind of experimental and a bit avant garde. I felt so fortunate to work on this show as an adult and to sing that beautiful song, “Come Home.” It’s ALLEGRO’s version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” or “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”—and just as lovely.

Dear Musical Theatre Guild Family & Community ~ W Dear Musical Theatre Guild Family & Community ~ We at MTG condemn all acts of cruelty, racism and discrimination. This past week has laid bare the great amount of work that needs to be done to address racism and inequality in our country. We support justice for the lives taken too soon, and acknowledge George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amaud Arbery, and all those who have died because their lives were not valued. We recognize Christian Cooper and his example of how racism affects the lives of people of color, and their communities, on a daily basis. We believe BLACK LIVES MATTER. MTG believes strongly in inclusion and diversity. While we can’t come together in person at this time, we come together with our hearts and stand strong in solidarity to end racism, and to uplift communities in need of support. As we strive to do better and be better, we will continue to do our part to work toward a solid allegiance with the black community. To listen and to act. We wish for you all to be well, during these difficult times, and look forward to being together again. Until then.. With Love and Solidarity, Musical Theatre Guild #blm #blacklivesmatter #blackouttuesday #musicaltheatreguild #broadway
Memory Monday-MTG member Shauna Markey on WORKING, Memory Monday-MTG member Shauna Markey on WORKING, from our 2001-2002 season: "WORKING was my first show with MTG and I waited all day Saturday to stage my solo number. No dice. Show up early Sunday am expecting to tackle it right away but again I was thwarted. 2pm, I started to panic. “In 29 hours I will be performing this in front of hundreds of people I respect and admire and I have NO IDEA what I’m doing!! Should I fake getting sick? Run out of the theatre never to work in the business again.” I was freaking out! At 2:20 we took 10min to stage it before our run through at 2:45p. GULP! 31 hours later is was all over and a success! I had survived “Cannon-Shooting 101.” Little did I know that would be the ‘norm’ for almost every MTG show I did. By far, the most amazing and equally petrifying part of doing MTG shows! You push yourself beyond what you imagined possible as a performer."

TBT-Broadway star Kim Huber on SATURDAY NIGHT, fro TBT-Broadway star Kim Huber on SATURDAY NIGHT, from our 2002-2003 season: Opening our 7th season was Stephen Sondheim’s SATURDAY NIGHT. In my opinion, it is a wonderful example of what MTG really does best; rare titles, by our greatest composers, featuring a large ensemble of our terrific members. I played “Helen”, one of the many ingenue roles I loved playing for MTG years ago; full of snappy dialogue, mistaken identities and gorgeous ballads. We had a ball putting this one together. Stephen Sondheim and MTG, “What More Do I Need?”.

Memory Monday-MTG Member Roger Befeler on FLOYD CO Memory Monday-MTG Member Roger Befeler on FLOYD COLLINS, from our 2001-2002 season: "FLOYD COLLINS was a whirlwind and a true one-night only event that I’m not sure we could replicate. It was an amazing cast to be a part of, and for me had an added bonus that I got to perform with my wife, Kim Huber! It featured a truly thrilling, sweeping bluegrass score by Adam Guettel that could move from intimate to cinematic in scope, and was definitely a challenge. I remember working on a song, “The Call” with director Gordon Hunt and music director Ed Martel where the only accompaniment was voice echoing back to the stage, and what a blast that was to figure out with them. The whole experience was emotional, yet magical, and the fact that this show came on the heels of HOW NOW DOW JONES made me proud that MTG could pull off such completely different styles!"

TBT-Broadway star Larry Raben on HOW NOW, DOW JONE TBT-Broadway star Larry Raben on HOW NOW, DOW JONES, from our 2001-2002 season: "I have incredibly fond memories of HOW NOW, DOW JONES! We performed it at the Pasadena Playhouse to a packed audience and it played like a rock concert! It was brilliantly directed by Nick DeGruccio and I got to fall in love with the incredible Jenny Gordon. Brad Ellis musical directed the fantastic score by Elmer Bernstein and Carolyn Leigh and if memory serves, Elmer was in attendance. It did what MTG does best, give life to under-appreciated and forgotten shows!"

2020-2021 was to be our 25th Anniversary season. 2020-2021 was to be our 25th Anniversary season. Until we're able to gather together for live performances again, we continue to celebrate musical theatre with a look back at our previous shows. For our first Memory Monday, Broadway star Stephanie J. Block from THE GRASS HARP, from our 2001-2002 season: "MTG is incredible, in the sense that artists come together, trusting each other, lifting each other up, supporting each other, and allowing each other to be complete fools in a safe space. We all run fast and furious to make the art happen, and those nights that we do get to perform the material, it’s complete magic, because it’s all so fresh – it’s literally at the tips of our fingers and the tips of our tongues, and it’s exciting and wonderful. With THE GRASS HARP, my ridiculous character got to make people laugh, got to surprise people, and I wasn’t necessarily given those opportunities before. It was this wonderful glimpse into what I wanted to be and do more often. Having been blessed with playing a lot of leads, and having a big score to sing, this was an opportunity to just be wacky and fun and wild, and not have to worry about responsibilities of worrying about my voice, or worrying about tons of material to learn. I just got to live in it, and soak my teeth in it, and it was joyous. Every second."
