About Us
Creating, empowering, and connecting the community
We are a passionate musical theatre company dedicated to bringing stories to life through song, dance, and powerful performances. Whether it’s a beloved Broadway classic or a bold new work, we celebrate the magic of live theatre and the joy it brings to audiences and performers alike.

Our Story
The Carleton Musical Theatre Society (CMTS) is a student-run organization dedicated to creating, promoting, and celebrating musical theatre at Carleton University. Our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive space where students from all programs, and the greater Ottawa community, can collaborate, express themselves, and grow through the performing arts.
We strive to:
-
Produce high-quality, student-led musical theatre that entertains and inspires.
-
Empower students to develop skills in performance, leadership, technical production, and arts management.
-
Foster a vibrant arts community on campus that values creativity, collaboration, and diversity.
-
Connect Carleton students with the broader Ottawa arts scene, enriching both campus life and the community through accessible, engaging performances.
At CMTS, we believe the stage is more than a spotlight — it’s a platform for growth, a catalyst for connection, and a celebration of student voices.
