Magnolia Theatre Company

Magnolia Theatre Company Magnolia Theatre Company produces shows that celebrate women. Now located in Dayton, Ohio, our focus remains the same:
A theatre company dedicated to women.

Founded in May of 2012, Magnolia Theatre Company quickly became one of the most talked about theatre companies in Pennsylvania. MTC lives by 3 words- Fresh. Funky. Feminine. FRESH is the commitment to bringing strong female characters to the stage in performances that entertain, inspire, and provoke. FUNKY is the trendy vibe at Magnolia. We want to be different,
unique, and powerful. FEMININE is t

he most critical part. In addition to strong female characters onstage, every attempt will be made to hire women in all technical, administrative, and creative roles.
