Since the Maumee Valley Civic Theater (MVCT) relies on donations, program ad sales, ticket sales, and your participation fee to ensure our shows are high quality. This fee helps with obtaining the rights for the show, performance location, costumes, set pieces, props, and advertising.

The 2021 Summer Show participation fees are:

ALL $50

This participation fee SHOULD NOT deter anyone from participating in this summer’s show! There are several ways for Actors to pay this participation fee including obtaining Stage Bill program Ads from local business and individual sponsors totaling upto double of the participation fee (i.e. $100 in ads and sponsors). If this is something you need help with, please see a production staff member for guidelines.
