About Us

Maricopa Community Theatre was formed in January 23, 2010 as the baby of Artistic Director, Carrie Vargas.  It stemmed from the desire to direct a local production of “The Importance of Being Earnest.”

She knew that Maricopa had abundant talent, and that being nestled in its location, there is a distance for the community to travel to see quality theatre. It is from that knowledge and experience, that Maricopa Community Theatre was created. MCT has established partnerships with the City of Maricopa Parks and Recreation Division, DSPA Gems, Inc and Maricopa Music Circle, among others, to broaden the scope of theatrical performance in Maricopa.

In 2017, the company shifted into a non profit corporation and reimagined what theatre could bring to the community. Through grants, donations and lots of blood, sweat and tears, MCT brings mulitple opportunities for theatrical performance to the area. Board members, past and present , as well as community members,  and cast/crew, have made Maricopa Community theatre what is is today. 

                                                                   And we look forward to many years of producing quality theatre in Maricopa!
