We are looking forward to meeting our 2021/2022 Company in September. First round of auditions are Tuesday, August 3rd, 2021

JMTC would like to recognize our graduates of the 2021 season. These people are the world changers coming at you. Watch out!!!

On what was supposed to be our performance weekend, we will be having one last performance online to practise our solos and group songs. We will then be taking a bit of a break until we are cleared to film. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s pieces when we are able to. 

Due to the new number restrictions, we are heading back onto Zoom this week. Looking forward to having the full group back together again!!

We are so excited to be back in-person. We will be in small groups to ensure that we are keeping within the restricted numbers. We will also be temperature checking, washing and sanitizing hands upon entry and taking half hour sanitizing breaks. Between groups, we will be taking a break to air out the space and we will also be using separate entrances and exits to ensure there is no crossover of groups. It is going to be weird but it means we can be with each other again! See you all soon.

Looking forward to working on our new Medley of Showtunes!! Contemporary hits and solos for everyone to ensure we continue to grow and build those skills!

All of the JMTC participants took to Zoom to celebrate all of the hard work that we put into Matilda. There was singing, dancing, acting and a lot of laughs. A beautiful way to close JMTC’s bizarre season. Looking forward to getting started on our new pieces as of January 2021!!!

We have had to move onto Zoom in order to continue to keep everyone safe. We will continue our choreography, blocking and singing rehearsals and plug on with Matilda 2.0.
