The MMU Theatre Department produces theatre throughout the entire school year.
In the Fall - we produce a Straight Play, in the winter we put on Student Directed Scenes and One-Acts.
We produce a spectacular Musical in the Spring, and we close the school year with The Senior Theatre Production (a show produced and performed by Seniors).
Candy Padula is the Director of the MMU Theatre Department.
Candy studied theatre at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and at the California Institute of the Arts. She moved from California to Vermont to start her own theater company called Theatre Factory, which became the theater in residence at Trinity College of Vermont in 1994. Candy became an adjunct professor at Trinity College and ran the Theatre Department, teaching acting and technical theatre classes.
She also directed the Trinity College Theatre Company until the college closed in 1999.
In 2000, she became the Director of the Theatre Department at Mount Mansfield Union High School. In 2010 she also became the director of the Co-Curricular Theatre Program at Champlain Valley Union High School, working at both schools simultaneously up until the pandemic.
