Our Favorite Theatre

Written By: Erin Leigh Knowles, Mountain Theatre Company | Issue: March 2025

Mountain Theatre Company is honored to have received four wins in BroadwayWorld’s 2024 Regional Awards, including the coveted title of Favorite Regional Theatre.

BroadwayWorld’s 2024 Regional Awards honor regional productions, touring shows, and more who had their first performance between October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

This year, the BroadwayWorld Regional Awards were bigger and better than ever, including 100 cities across America, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia.

The BroadwayWorld Awards recognize excellence in regional theatre, and Mountain Theatre Company’s wins are a testament to the company’s commitment to producing high-quality, engaging productions. In addition to Favorite Local Theatre, Mountain Theatre Company‘s awards include three additional categories. Al Dollar took home the award for Favorite Performer in a Musical for his performance as agent Carl Hanratty in this summer’s, Catch Me If You Can. Melody Munitz was honored as Best Supporting Performer in a Musical, delivering a standout performance as Brenda Strong in Catch Me If You Can. Rounding out the awards included my recognition for Best Choreography in Catch Me If You Can. These individual wins prove the company’s commitment to nurturing and showcasing talented artists.

“We are overjoyed and humbled,” said Scott Daniel, Executive Artistic Director of Mountain Theatre Company. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of MTC’s talented cast, crew and staff.”

Mountain Theatre Company is already looking to the future, with an exciting, jam-packed family-friendly 2025 season in its 87th year.  This summer begins with a nostalgic double bill as The Marvelous Wonderettes and Forever Plaid run in repertory.

“By running these two shows in repertory, Mountain Theatre Company offers audiences the unique opportunity to experience two distinct productions, each with its own talented cast, costumes, and incredible creative team” said Scott Daniel.

The Summer continues with The Burnt Part Boys. Mountain Theatre Company postponed this production in 2024 due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. This critically acclaimed musical set in the Appalachian Mountains featuring a bluegrass inspired Broadway score, tells the story of brotherhood, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Rounding out the 2025 season is the return of Mountain Theatre Company’s beloved holiday tradition, Home for the Holidays. This all-new production of festive favorites, original arrangements, and non-stop dancing is a joyful celebration of the season.

As Mountain Theatre Company looks to the future, we’re reminded that the survival of regional theaters is more precarious than ever.
