"The JumpStart Theatre program creates sustainable theatre arts programs in middle schools where there previously were none. Participating schools are chosen through a rigorous application process and receive training, materials, and budget support to produce their first full-scale musical production. The support continues for three years until the program becomes self-sustaining. Non-theatre teachers are equipped with skills and resources to produce their school’s first musical through a proven combination of bootcamp style training and hands-on mentoring. The Educational Theatre Foundation operates JumpStart Theatre through a national network of regional theatre company partners who are selected based on their track-record of success in running educational programs for children. JumpStart Theatre partners are:
Alliance Theatre, Atlanta, Ga.; La Jolla Playhouse, La Jolla, Calif.; Mountain City Center for the Arts, Frostburg, Md.; Stages St. Louis, St. Louis, Mo.; The Children’s Theatre, Cincinnati, Oh.*JumpStart Theatre (JST) is a program of the Educational Theatre Foundation (ETF). In collaboration with New York City-based companies iTheatrics and Music Theatre International (MTI), the Educational Theatre Association created JumpStart Theatre with a pilot program in Cincinnati in 2015. Today ETF manages the program, iTheatrics provides the training and teacher mentors, and MIT provides the showkits.

MCCA, a performance arts studio in Western, MD, is pleased to partner with the Educational Theatre Foundation’s (ETF) JumpStart Theatre program as part of their 2019 expansion. MCCA’s unique geographical location in the Tri-State area allows JumpStart Theatre to extend its reach into more rural areas of the country. The program equips middle school teachers with the skills and resources to produce their school’s first musical through a proven combination of hands-on mentoring and boot-camp style training. ETF, in collaboration with NYC-based companies iTheatrics and Musical Theatre International (MTI), created JumpStart Theatre, a three-year program which builds sustainable musical theatre programs where none previously existed, and aims to:
• Engage as many students as possible in all aspects of theatre, preparing them for high school, college, and the workforce by instilling 21st-century skills of collaboration, communication, problem solving, and creativity
• Provide a practical and effective path to implementation in underserved middle schools nationwide

RUMOURS - A TRIBUTE TO FLEETWOOD MAC

Fans from across the nation claim that Rumours is the band to see if you are looking for an authentic recreation of live Fleetwood Mac shows.
In just under 5 years, Rumours has landed themselves the reputation of being the best Fleetwood Mac Tribute band and additionally has made fans internationally. In the summer of 2019, Rumours was invited to play a week in The Netherlands at some of the top venues and festivals in the country. The success of that tour brought them attention from plenty of new fans and promoters and they will be returning in 2020.

Rumours prides themselves on being the most authentic Fleetwood Mac Tribute without coming across as a parody or a bore of a show. They will make you dance, sing along at the top of your lungs, and you’ll even learn something new about Fleetwood Mac at each performance.
