Membership Information

The MMTG was formed in 1971 for its first production: Oliver! at the Majestic Cinema in Macclesfield, hence the name.  The group continued to produce stage musicals until 1985 when it ventured into its other major stronghold, the annual Christmas Pantomimes, with 'Dick Whittington'.

In 1991 the group celebrated its 21st birthday with a special concert, and in the following years assisted other organisations with charity and fundraising productions.  In 1996 the group celebrated its 25th anniversary and in November that year moved into its permanent home, the MMTG studios.

The MMTG studios are situated in Jodrell Street above 'Brookside Welding Supplies', and were officially opened by the Mayor of Macclesfield on 1st June 1997.  They provide main rehearsal and dance studios, as well as wardrobe, technical and administrative facilities.

Main rehearsals normally take place on Wednesday evenings with additional rehearsals on Tuesday evenings as required.

The social sub-committee provide rehearsal refreshments on Wednesdays and organise regular social events, including London weekends to see the West-End shows, Treasure Hunts, Quiz Nights, 10 Pin Bowling, Anglesey Weekends,  and visits to local Theatre productions. Details of forthcoming events are given in the groups monthly newsletter and booking lists are posted on the social events board at the studios.

The backstage department is responsible for scenery and properties, sound and lighting, costumes and wardrobe, and publicity have their own workshops and facilities in the studios.  Members are most welcome to assist with any department.
