An important part of MCT’s mission is to provide theatrical opportunities for our local youth. Agatha Crowley is a great example of a younger person seizing on these possibilities. Agatha has fulfilled various roles at MCT, from actor to usher, and is thankful for being able to experience all aspects of theater. I had the great pleasure of talking to this exceptional MASH 9th grader recently.
