"We are proud to support the MAT Theatre because your group provides a delightful unique form of entertainment that also encourages our local adults and youth to participate in a number of creative ways. In short, your team adds a positive attribute to our community."
Owner, Bullhook Realty
"My girls love the plays as well as our grandsons. I think MAT really adds to the things available in our community for people to do, both for the actors involved and the audiences that watch. We had some Realtor's up from Billings to teach a few Continuing Education classes and we took them to The Cabaret and they were very impressed that we had such a quality play available in a community of 9,000."
Havre Ford
"MAT has tremendous relevance to our community. The word community in my understanding means to come together. MAT facilitates this on every level. I've been involved in MAT productions as part of the pit orchestra. This has opened up opportunities to meet new people I otherwise would never know. I am also a regular MAT patron. In north central, small town Montana it is easy to assume we lack culture. That couldn't be further from the truth. I am in awe by all of the talent this community offers. As a business we are proud to invest in MAT and will continue to do so."
Owner, Western Drug Pharmacy
"Montana Actor's Theatre is an asset to our community, bringing arts to rural Montana and growing our own local talent in so many ways. As a business owner in this community I have seen a huge return on investment in donations not only in my community but in my family, for my son has become very active in MAT and is thriving and growing because of what MAT brings to our community. I believe our community greatly appreciates what MAT has brought which is shown by their support to the MAT program allowing it to offer an activity for our youth to perform and develop in the arts or to just enjoy theatre."
Secretary, Havre Lions
"My wife and I have enjoyed many of the plays put on by MAT. We find that it is always an enjoyable night out. We have enjoyed their performances presented at our Lions Club Christmas parties and in return, we have enjoyed volunteering to help them at their performances. We greatly enjoy and appreciate everything about MAT."
Executive Director, Bear Paw Development Corporation
"Any community serious about business growth and being a good place to raise a family is also serious about the arts. The Montana Actors Theatre brings a richness to our area that contributes significantly toward the quality of life we lead in northern Montana. I support the MAT because it enriches my life, but also because it makes my job as a professional economic developer that much easier in promoting our region as a fantastic place to start or expand a business."
Chancellor MSU-Northern
"MSU-Northern has had the privilege of hosting the Montana Actors Theater (MAT) on our campus for the last 20 years. With MAT being a community operated organization, Northern reaps the benefits of outside involvement with those that attend and those that participate. MAT has an outstanding reputation and consequently the ability to attract audiences from across the state to our Little Theater for their productions. The theater brings culture, diversity, and enjoyment to the Northern Plains of Montana. We're thankful to have this relationship."
Provost MSU-Northern
"MAT is a very important component of our educational programs at MSUN. Goal three of our campus strategic goals is to increase student engagement MAT plays a key role in helping achieve that goal through educational opportunities and performances."

In a small community like Havre, being able to collaborate and work with a group like MAT has such a profound impact on our students and school district. Our performance arts program is a great source of pride for the Blue Ponies and MAT is a valued partner."
