Equal Peopl PA
MTC offers an environment away from the stresses of everyday life, and we believe that the performing arts have many social and therapeutic benefits, yet are often disregarded. All are welcome to attend our classes- regardless of gender, race, sexuality or ability. We offer specialist classes for individuals with Special Needs, however none of our classes are restricted due to ability, and therefore our company provides an excellent opportunity for the development of social interaction. Our emphases are on the development of self-esteem and teamwork, and as a result believe that our work is very beneficial to individuals with disabilities and for young adults.
However, in order for us to expand the work that we do, we need to build a purpose built theatre and performance area that could cater for disabled performers and spectators as there is currently no other arts facility in the area that can provide this. We would like to build a theatre that would provide a safe place for disadvantaged children and young people to participate in performing arts. A place that would be a totally accessible performance and learning environment for those in wheelchairs. We hope that a theatre such as this would become a pleasant community area that could be used by our company, local schools and organisations, and fellow theatre groups.

Our Patron
As a former student at MTC Lee Mead has found sucess in the Entertainment Industry. He has now become the Patron of The Muchroom Theatre Company and Equal People Performing Arts.
Lee Mead was born in Southend-on-Sea. After leaving college Lee worked on ferries singing to passengers on the Bay of Biscay, but things were soon to take a dramatic turn.
While performing in The Phantom of the Opera, Lee auditioned for the BBC series Any Dream Will Do to play Joseph. Lee was selected as one of the top 20 finalists, and eventually won the role nine weeks later.
Following his successful run as Joseph in the West End, Lee took on a new challenge. From January 12th 2010 at the Theatre Royal Windsor he starred in a touring revival of Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, adapted by Trevor Baxter as a Victorian comic melodrama, from the short story by Oscar Wilde. Lee led the cast playing the title role.
August 2011 saw Lee make an impressive television debut as a guest star in long-running BBC drama Casualty where he played teaching assistant, Harry.
Alongside Lee's West End role in Legally Blonde, he has been working hard recording his next album, which is due out early next year. Lee will be touring in the UK in February 2012.
