About MPtc

MPtc was created by Jonty Reason and Donna Johnstone as a Not for Profit organisation (registered with Consumer Affairs Vicotria) in order to combine their respective talents to make classical storytelling accessible to a modern audience across the Mornington Peninsula.

our ethos

Theatre nurtures a flourishing, healthy, connected community by bringing creativity to everyone. By shining a spotlight on important social issues and encouraging discussion and examination of them, we can ensure that values such as safety, physical and mental health and well-being are given the attention they deserve.

Our production of Lady Windermere's Fan was fantastically well received by hundreds of local residents across the Shire.

When asked what they most enjoyed - 90% said great acting, 80% said the ticket price was great value, and 78.3% said the location was convenient.

When asked to rate the importance of a local venue, 66.7% said it was important or very important.

I think this proves that we have the right formula, and with some improvements, we aim to continue bringing quality classical theatre to the Peninsula.

Additionally, "Much Ado" is on the VCE syllabus for this year, which will greatly benefit VCE students across the region.

By touring our shows around the Peninsula, we will be able to make theatre more accessible to more of the community without residents having to drive many miles, often after dark, which will increase road safety in the area.
