Founded

1984

The Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC) was founded in 1984 by Jan and Steve Isaacson (Davis residents since 1977), who, before founding their own company, had participated in productions by West of Broadway, Davis Players, the Davis Comic Opera Co., and other local groups.

DMTC produces six mainstage, Broadway-style musicals every year, now shown at their new Hoblit Performing Arts Center.

The producers, board and committee members, actors, directors, stage managers, costumers, musicians, and other DMTC participants are volunteers. The only paid participant is the pianist, who receives a stipend.

Jan Isaacson also produces four musicals a year geared especially to children in DMTC's Young Performer's Theatre (YPT). The YPT showcases the talent of kids 7 to 18 years old. Please visit the DMTC website for show and audition information.
Davis Musical Theater Company gives out two scholarships each year to graduating high school seniors who have participated in DMTC Young Performers or main stage productions.

Other Davis Musical Theater Company programs of interest:

Last spring, the SENSE Theatre and DMTC are cooperated to produce a very special youth production. SENSE Theater is a unique theatrical intervention research program designed to improve the social and emotional functioning of children with Autism. The new and innovative program is a blending of youth actors, who are experts in social communication and language, with autistic children who have challenges around basic social interactions.

A Benefit for the Founding of the SENSE Theatre: On Friday, Feb. 6 2009 a benefit was held for the founding of the SENSE Theater at the 238-seat Davis Musical Theatre, located at 607 Peña Drive in Davis. Youth actors and children with autism performed onstage, demonstrating how art and science can come together to both heal and educate. In addition, Franc D’Ambrosio, the World’s Longest Running Phantom, who brought over five million theater-goers to their feet for more that six years, gave a very special performance. "
SENSE Theater’s first full stage production in June 2009 was “Disney’s The Jungle Book,” directed by Jeni Price.
