About MPtc

MPtc was started by Jonty Reason and Donna Johnstone at Christmas 2023. After bemoaning the fact that COVID had decimated local theatre on the Mornington Peninsula, they knew something had to be done.

Jonty had spent a lifetime in theatre, having appeared on West End stages including the Aldwych Theatre, the Wyndhams and the Westminster Theatre. There was even a very early appearance at the Mermaid theatre (ask him about that when you see him!)

Jonty was the founder of the Royal George Theatre in Deptford, London, where he oversaw and facilitated many memorable performances

The followed a decade of dinner theatre in Spain before relocating to the Peninsula. and thus MPtc was born.

The success has been stellar -- Audience reaction has been nothing short of phenomenal. Within a year of operation, they now have their own van (Vanessa), you may see it tootling around the Peninsula -- you can't miss it, give 'em a wave as you go by.

Then, even greater success, as they entered into an arrangement with St Peter's church in Mornington to take over the theatrical use of Bellamy Hall as MPtc's home base. A place for rehearsals and performances
