ABOUT CMTP:

  • We choose a musical that doesn't get done very often, but should.
  • We cast the musical with the best performers possible regardless of age, race, body type or gender.
  • We get them their scripts and scores and ask them to familiarize themselves with their role(s).
  • We ask them not to reveal the title of the musical or their role in it to anyone.
  • With NO rehearsals, we all meet for the first time on the night of the performance and start the musical.
  • The challenge for the performers: create an ensemble on their feet in front of an audience.
  • The audience shows up without knowing what show they're going to see.

The only rule: We don't stop - no matter what happens.

Our world premiere took place on July 22nd, 2014 in Toronto: Sunday In The Park With George. We have since expanded into Cape Breton, Chicago, Halifax, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Los Angeles, Montréal, New York City, Ottawa, Pickering, Pittsburgh, Port Perry, Vancouver and Windsor.
