Our Mission

At SMCT, we believe that art is for everyone. We aim to provide the Northern Twin Cities area the opportunity to learn, grow, and create art together through the power of theater.


Our History

In 1993, a small band of singers and actors from St. Matthew Lutheran Church presented their first spring musical, a show written and directed by local middle school teacher, Keith Roberts.  As the word spread about this effort, the group grew to include children and teens from local schools, and adults from the community. Within two years, SMCT stages it’s first Broadway musical production. 

Today, SMCT continues to welcome individuals of all ages in the Twin Cities metro area to audition and join us in the creative process. Whether you are experiencing the stage for the first time, getting back into theater after a hiatus, or consider yourself a true veteran, there is a place for you at SMCT.

Additionally, we strive to collaborate with local community members and businesses through sponsorship opportunities, donation collection for local food shelves, and special fundraising concerts in aid of both community organizations and SMCT goals.
