About Musical Theater Heritage
Known simply as MTH, Musical Theater Heritage was founded in 1998 by
George Harter, as a 501c3 production company to entertain and enlighten new generations with the legacy of the American art form known as Musical Comedy.

MTH presents classic musical theater and review performances in the 240 seat, Off Center Theatre at the Crown Center Shops in Kansas City. These are professional productions using all local talent and are presented in concert or semi-staged form.

In 2009 MTH's production of Big River was named "The Best Musical of the Year" by The Johnson County Sun, in a year where there were many other fantastic productions in KC including a touring production of Wicked.

Other MTH productions have included: (see the list to the right) Guys & Dolls, On The Town, Carousel, Man of LaMancha, The Fantastics, Into The Woods, Brigadoon, The Pajama Game, and How To Succed In Business.... MTH original productions include: Bernstein's Broadway, A Spectacular Christmas, and a review of songs by Jacques Brel.

MTH also produces "A Night on the Town", a weekly syndicated radio show on the American Musical, written and hosted by George Harter and sponsored by the historic Algonquin Hotel in New York City.

In Kansas City, "A Night on the Town" is heard on KPR, at 91.5 FM, Saturday nights at 9. The program is also heard in Dallas, Atlanta, south Florida and on New York Public Radio. Special licensing arrangements enable us to also make the show available on this website.

Several times a year, MTH takes theater fans to New York for organized trips that include Broadway shows, fine dining, four nights at the Algonquin Hotel and fascinating insights into the history of Broadway and the American Musical.
