The Musical Theatre Appreciation Society, or MTAs, as we call them, are quite simply a group of people who love Theatre!
What started as a small Facebook group discussing all the weird and wonderful things of the Musical world, they now have a following of 16,628 members on Facebook alone! Well when I last checked....
Now I've been a member of the MTAs for a while and it has truly been amazing to see them grow! The whole group is just full of lovely warm people, and it's not just for those who have seen a million show and are experts on all things theatre...its even for the newbies. Some may never have seen a West End show, some may never have been in a production but it doesn't matter. As long as you love theatre then that's all that matters. Any age, any experience....all are welcomed and loved and listened to.
There are 6 members of the Admin team, all are great fun! They do a wonderful job keeping the page afloat and pointing it in new directions. They have created a Twitter account, Snapchat, YouTube account and have a blog!! All of which I will link to below if you are interested.
They also have a Sister Page called Musical Theatre Competition Page which kind of does what it says on the tin! Its where the members of the MTAs partake in competitions, some just for fun, and some for a prize. They include West End Challenges. Where you get challenged by a West End actor to sing a song from the show, past triumphs have been Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wicked and Beautiful. It's a song for guys and a song for girls, usually with a 2 week submission window, all in the name of fun!
Currently they also have another competition running themed around Murder Ballad (coming 30th September to the Arts Theatre)
Submit a 'Mugshot' with the date the show opens and you are in with a chance to win a £20 Theatre token AND a signed flyer from the show.....
Something like this....
They also have Q&A's with Stars, Snapchat Takeovers. Its all a big laugh and a great thing to get involved it.
And its not all behind a screen! They often arrange group outings to shows with a stop off at the Theatre Café...I have yet to attend a meet up but I look forward to being able to in the near future!!
You are free to post into the group and ask questions or discuss recent visits or to get opinions on a show/cast.
Everyone is always willing to chat and you can get so much wisdom from some members. Some have been in productions of many a musical and are more than happy to share advice/experiences with the younger generation.
I could sit here and go on but instead I will allow you all the opportunity of finding out what a great bunch of people they are for yourselves....don't take my word for it!!
