The Martin City Melodrama is a 40 year old non-profit. Our mission is to include all abilities in our family performances. Our classic style of song, dance, and comedy provides self-awareness and confidence for the uniquely abled actors. We combine our cage to stage programming of small senior dogs from local shelters and offer our performers a chance to work with our pawformers. Making the invisible, VISIBLE!
