About the provider

MET2 is described as a non-profit educational organization. Mr. Alex H. Urban is named as the founder, and the company has performed for over thirty years. Its mission statement says it provides students of all ages with educational theatre instruction and includes creative dramatics, memorization techniques, motor skills, and coordination. The organization also offers live theatrical performances to local educational institutions and community groups and provides teachers with a curriculum-based teaching packet.

Programs are based on a supportive group environment. Participants are expected to treat fellow actors, staff, volunteers, and peers with respect; be punctual; focus and listen; follow directions; and maintain attendance. No gum, food, or drinks are allowed in rehearsals. The director makes role assignments and casting decisions are final. Parents pay for costumes. Fundraising and ticket sales are not mandatory, though participation is encouraged.
