MTF’s Mission
MTF equips artists to create musical stories as a collective force for justice, healing, and radical imagination.

MTF’s Vision
We envision a thriving creative ecosystem, one that grows through collaboration, shared resources, and sustainable creative models. At MTF, we cultivate the conditions for artists to take ownership of their work, their process, and their impact, ensuring that musical stories flourish wherever they need to be told. By fostering deep relationships, equitable production models, and iterative development pathways, we are reshaping musical theatre into an expansive, people-powered movement- one that is driven by artists, accessible to communities, and transformative in its reach. Together, we are not just developing new works- we are building the creative infrastructure for a more just and liberated future.

MTF’s Values

Access & Advocacy
We champion artists by amplifying their voices and ensuring their work reaches the communities it’s meant for. Through solidarity, we forge partnerships to create more equitable and inclusive artistic spaces, breaking down barriers to access and fostering broad participation.

Interdependence & Collective Care
We believe transformation happens through deep, intentional relationships. By centering trust, reciprocity, and collaboration, our ecosystem is rooted in shared resources, mutual support, and collective care, ensuring that artists, audiences, partners, and communities thrive together.

Decolonization & Sustainability
We honor story as a long-held means to move through and beyond colonial ways of being. We recognize the unique demands liberatory storytelling and commit to community-centered systems of artistic development and resource generation as a result. We prioritize sustainability as a means to reliably nurture both the planet and the long-term well-being of our community.

Innovation and Emergent Magic
We embrace radical imagination, iteration, and risk-taking as essential to artistic and social transformation. Grounded in justice, we challenge systemic limitations and create new pathways for stories that expand possibility, redistribute power, and inspire action.
