A Venue of Their Own
In 2005 it was announced that the company would have its own theatre on Southbank Boulevard in Southbank. The MTC Theatre opened in January 2009 with a production in the Sumner Theatre, a state-of-the-art 500-seat venue. The MTC Theatre also houses the flexible Lawler Studio for small scale work. In March 2010 the theatre was badly hit during a severe hailstorm, and refurbishments to the venue occurred throughout 2010.
