​TRUST
Martin Theatre is based upon the concept of trust. To us, however, it is more than concept it is the reality of theatre. It is trust that the directors have in the script, trust the actors have in the directors, and trust the audience has in the actors and crew. Trust is a mainstay of Martin Theatre and creates a bond that holds our shows together. Without this, our shows would not be a success. The success of our productions also depends strongly upon the willingness of our audiences to laugh with us, cry with us, and become a part of us. By purchasing a patronship you are helping to build the trust here in Martin Theatre.

EXCELLENCE
Since Martin High School opened 33 years ago in 1982, the primary goal of the department has been excellence. We always strive for professional quality productions. We owe you, the audience, as well as our Martin Theatre alumni, the best we have to offer. From the time our MHS theatre students work on their first crew or act in their first play as freshmen, they are trained to serve each production with a great deal of professionalism and dedication. This is what is expected of them and what you should expect from us. Your tax-deductible donation will enable us to continue our tradition of excellence!

TRADITION
The Martin Theatre season offers the theatre-goer a wide variety of shows including contemporary dramas and comedies, literary classics such as THE CRUCIBLE, LORD OF THE FLIES and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, along with exciting staging of Shakespeare plays, and traditional Broadway fare such as GUYS AND DOLLS, PIPPIN, CHICAGO, and GREASE. We are known throughout the State of Texas for our success in UIL ONE ACT PLAY. Our one act plays have been district champions 32 out of 36 years and have appeared at the 6A state championship finals 17 times, most recently in 2019 and 2024. We won the state championships in 1996 and 1998 and first-runner up in 1990, 1999, 2012, and 2013. Your support can help us continue the Martin Theatre tradition!
