MTC is celebrating it's 50th anniversary. MTC’s roots can be traced to the merging of Theatre 77, founded by Tom Hendry and John Hirsch, and Winnipeg Little Theatre. MTC’s first ten seasons were produced at the Dominion Theatre, just off the corner of Portage and Main (now the site of the Richardson Building). In 1968, MTC moved into the Centennial Concert Hall at 555 Main Street, where it spent the 1968/1969 and 1969/70 seasons. The present site of MTC at 174 Market Avenue was completed in 1970, and the first production in its new home was Bertlot Brecht’s A Man’s A Man, directed by founding Artistic Director John Hirsch.
