Our Performances

Every year we stage performances of The Nutcracker Ballet at the Stratos G. Dukakis Performing Arts Center at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School in Fitchburg. There are 4 performances: 2 children’s school performances and 2 public performances. Our 90-minute Nutcracker Ballet is unlike most others and is produced to be a special treat for children and the “young at heart.” Be transported from your home into the Land of the Snowflakes and on a journey to the Kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy where fabulous entertainment awaits!

Our passion is bringing the arts to the Sterling community and surrounding areas. Every March we are hold this special show which showcases our MEM Dance Company, guest performers from all over Massachusetts, and an excerpt from a classical ballet! We wanted to expand our repertory of performances at MEMDT and have our students experience all forms of dance and theatre from well-known Ballets, Broadway shows and Dance in Film.

Each June, MEMDT holds an annual performance to showcase our students’ progress throughout the year. MEMDT has three recitals: two matinee performances for our youngest dancers and an Evening performance for our intermediate and advanced dancers.

Each season we offer Acting I & Acting II classes. While Acting I & II focus on skill development rather than traditional performances, both classes come together for a special year-end presentation. Students will write, direct, and perform original scenes, demonstrating their growth and creativity in front of an audience.
Each summer, we offer our Spotlight Theatre Camp intended for children ages 7 to 14 years old. In this two week program our campers dive into singing, dancing, costuming, set building, improvisation, and more! At the conclusion of the program, campers shine in two evening performances for friends & family.

Dancers are exposed to different styles of choreography and music, gain experience of performing in different venues for various audiences and judges, and are able to bond and create friendships not only with their team members but also with dancers from other studios.
