{{Infobox theatre|name=Mill Mountain Theatre|former names=Mill Mountain Playhouse|opened=1964|website={{url|millmountain.org}}|address=1 Market St SE|city=Roanoke, Virginia|nickname=Mill Mountain, MMT|coordinates={{Coord|37.271477|N|79.939451|W|display=inline,title}}|country=United States|renovated=1976}}Mill Mountain Theatre (MMT) is a professional equity theatre located in Roanoke, Virginia. Originally opening as a “not-for-profit, non-Equity resident stock theatre”, the location burned down in 1976, leading to a re-opening at the Center in the Square in 1983.^[1] The theater is named after the nearby Mill Mountain, which is a popular theme for the naming of Roanoke landmarks and organizations, including the Mill Mountain Star, Mill Mountain Zoo, and Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea.^[2]

Mill Mountain Theatre also has a longstanding relationship with Hollins University and the Hollins Theatre Institute.

History

In January 2009, Mill Mountain Theater’s Board of Directors faced mounted debt by ceasing productions to focus on reorganizing the Theater’s business operations. All staff members, with the exception of the director of education were laid off. At the same time MMT's landlord, Center in the Square, undertook a complete renovation, moving MMT into a temporary space.

During the reinvention process, educational classes continued and enrollment doubled, becoming one of the theatre's best sources of income during this time period. Mill Mountain Theatre Conservatory (MMTC) also produced a holiday show each year during the reorganization; Annie, Jr. in 2009, Disney's My Son Pinocchio, Geppetto's Musical Tale in December 2010, and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in 2011 and 2012.

In March 2012, MMT produced Greater Tuna on the Waldron Stage, its first professional Equity performance since 2009. On April 24, 2013, Mill Mountain Theatre returned to the Trinkle Main Stage in the newly renovated Center in the Square presenting The Marvelous Wonderettes.
