Metro Theater Company 2022-2023 Season
To ensure continued digital accessibility across the St. Louis region and beyond, as part of PNC Arts Alive’s funded MTC Remote initiative, MTC will continue online streaming of its mainstage productions. MTC is also continuing its Pay-What-You-Wish viewing period for each mainstage production (live or streaming) so that economic barriers do not prevent families from experiencing the season’s productions. Sensory friendly, audio described, and sign language interpreted performances will also be available for mainstage productions.
