About MBP
Welcome to Marcia Brown Productions, a professional theatrical and entertainment company with a rich history and a vibrant future. Founded by Marcia Brown, an esteemed actress, writer, producer, and director with deep roots in the Jamaican Theatre tradition, MBP has been a beacon of cultural preservation and artistic excellence in the Canadian-Caribbean community since 2000.
Our Mission
Our mission is to contribute to the presentation and preservation of Jamaican culture within the Canadian Diaspora. We strive to ensure that each performance resonates with our audience, leaving them impressed by the delivery and professionalism of our full-length stage plays and the cadence and accuracy of our comedic acts performed at community events.
Our Achievements
Since its inception, MBP has produced some of the most electrifying and memorable plays in the city. Our storylines are consistently underlined with strong messages, providing an ample share of side-splitting laughter. With award-winning productions like “Blood Ticka Dan Water,” “Rosetta,” “Country Duppy,” “Deception,” and the critically acclaimed “I Need to Know My Father,” MBP has undoubtedly brought audiences joy and slices of life lessons.
Our Impact
MBP has earned a “not to be missed” status, synonymous with a high standard in delivery and acting. The population of the GTA is known to reserve the dates for each production, eagerly clamoring for the taste of culture and reality promised. With each staging, the audience is the main character, and for 20 years, thousands of patrons have poured into banquet halls, auditoriums, and churches to experience what MBP and her ensemble casts have in store.
Our Collaborations
Churches and charitable groups have also worked with MBP to stage benefit performances for fundraising, a testament to the audience’s trust in our production quality and their entertained and enthralled state.
Our Legacy
Jamaican playwright the late Aston Cooke has earned a special place in the genesis of MBP, as he is the writer of the first play produced by the company in 2000, “Country Duppy.” MBP works with the highest caliber actors, some of whom were former stars of the Jamaican stage.
Our Commitment to Talent
The company currently upholds its mandate to develop and showcase new artists in each and every production. Our commitment to nurturing talent and preserving culture has led to youth-centered productions like “Pickney Sinting.”
