Our History

Music On Stage is a leading theatre in the Palatine area. We have played a defining role in the cultural life of Palatine since 1957, when we opened our inaugural production of The Pirates of Penzance. Since then, we've been committed to supporting the performing arts and making them accessible to the community. Take a look at our history of quality musical theatre.
