At the Amsterdam Westergasfabriek area there is MC Theatre, which opened in the spring of 2010: 2 studios, a theatre that seats 200 people, and a place to hang out, dine and dance. A place where new stories are told and old stories are reinterpreted. A house for multiple art-forms: music, new media, dance, exhibitions etc, but always with theatre at heart.

MC is a theatre-workshop, a production company and a venue for new times in old cities. MC's work involves everything from street culture to classical theater: MC produces plays, music, and events for theaters, clubs and festivals at home and abroad.

MC evolved out of Made in da Shade and Cosmic theater. Cosmic theater was Amsterdam's leading multicultural production company. Made in da Shade was the dutch pioneer of urban, multimedia theatre. The strengths of both groups come together in MC - multicultural, multidisciplinary and cutting edge - Masters of Ceremony for the new Europe.
