Murphys Creek Theatre brings professional live theatre to the heart of Calaveras County. Since 1994, MCT has entertained residents and visitors with high-quality productions ranging from beloved classics and contemporary favorites to exciting new works.
With just 98 seats, the Black Bart Playhouse offers an intimate, up-close experience where every seat is a good one. Located in historic downtown Murphys, a matinee or evening performance at the theatre is a must-do in any Gold Country getaway.
MCT also invests in the region through youth theatre education and its Quill to Act New Play Festival, which supports emerging playwrights and brings new stories to the stage.
Whether you’re a lifelong theatre fan or simply looking for a memorable time out, you’ll find professional artistry, small-town warmth, and something worth talking about afterward. Pay-what-you-can tickets are available at every performance, making great theatre accessible to everyone.
The box office, lobby, and concessions open one hour before showtime. Visit murphyscreektheatre.org for current productions, performance dates, and showtimes.
