Montgomery County Cultural Center: More than Shakespeare & Shaw

Save that gas money, don’t stress about the parking space, and tell the babysitter you’ll be home early. Glitzy, hard-hitting theatre has come to the burbs. Two professional theatre companies share the intimate 75-seat Centre Theatre at the Montgomery Country Cultural Center; the Iron Age Company produces a new play and a classic in the fall, while the Centre Company produces a musical in the spring. Along with the annual Independent Voices Festival, in which 11 visiting companies present cutting-edge work, the MCCC hosts a uniquely rich and diverse theatrical experience that’s unknown outside Philly. The rest of the historic building is devoted to arts education for all ages. The curriculum is still new and it’s currently heavy on theatre, dance, and visual arts, but the program will eventually expand to include music and other specialties. Why go to the city when you can get challenged in your own backyard?
