The main goal of CMO is to have fun while providing the whole family with something they can do together.  That is why we do not charge any membership fees, and whether your performing on stage or your working backstage every CMO Member is greatly appreciated.

CMO funding comes from ticket sales, advertisement in the shows programs, and through fundraisers.  All profits raised from one show are used toward the next.  Did you know that, depending on the selected show, it costs between $8,000 to $12,000 to put on each show?

Throughout the months prior to the show we have rehearses, we plan and build the sets, and we hold fundraisers.

Each CMO show is unique and magical in its own way. From the dusty window of an old-time orphanage to a boat full of immigrants waiting for adventure in a new world, these actors, both young and old, have managed to cover all the bases of imagination. The hard work and dedication shines through with every production and the joy seen on every face is sure to reach your heart.

For over 25 years Central Mass Onstage has been bringing families of all shapes and sizes together.  To most of us CMO has become more than just a pastime; it has become a second home.  We are always waiting to welcome new members with open arms.  So whether you're a budding performer or you just love a night at the theater, we invite you to join CMO.
