Mighty Goliath Productions, most often referred to as MGP, is a musical
theatre company that contributes funds towards the Performing Arts
Department of Avon Lake High School as well as the Endowment Fund for Avon
Lake Public Schools. They have donated over $146,600 in proceeds to the Avon
Lake Public Schools since 1959. 

Formed in 1959, the organization continues to be entirely comprised of
volunteers who donate their time and talent as performing artists,
technicians and administrators. None of the productions staff, actors, or
administrators are paid positions and everyone that participates is does so
on a volunteer basis. 

All lead and supporting roles are cast by auditions and the chorus is open
to anyone who would like to participate. We ask that all interested chorus
members simply report to the first scheduled read-through or rehearsal.
