The Beginning
History
For many years, The Manor Club had a Drama Section that performed for and exclusively by its members, featuring productions like The Importance of Being Earnest, Blithe Spirit, The Man on the Floor, Company, and Golden Girls. The club also invited professional children's theatre groups to present shows such as Aesop's Fables and magic acts.
Origins
Origins & Formation
TMC members Loretta Illustrato and Mauro Contrastano presented a proposal to The Manor Club's Board of Directors to establish a Community Theatre – The Manor Club Theatre (TMCT). Their vision was to create a dedicated group that would regularly stage well-known theatrical works, foster greater community involvement and nurture artistic growth and enjoyment for people of all ages in the community.
