In 2010, Muhlenberg Summer Music Theatre proudly celebrated its 30th year of producing professional, quality shows for a fraction of the price of a Broadway ticket! The season included a new production of a show from our very first MSMT season, a brand new classic fresh from the Broadway stage, and a show for young audiences that has been a favorite for nearly forty years.
