CMT San Jose

CMT San Jose (Children's Musical Theater San Jose) is a non-profit performing arts organization, which produces and stages musical theatre at the Montgomery Theater in downtown San Jose.

One of the largest youth musical theater and training programs in the US, the organization produces eleven full-scale musicals per year in three different divisions between the ages of 7 and 20. Nine of the eleven productions cast every child who auditions. Two, are showcases for more professional performers who donate their time and talent to benefit the organization. In addition to performances, CMT also runs  workshops, and summer camps, for children as young as four.

CMT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is the oldest performing arts organization in San Jose. It was the first non-professional company in the country to stage the musicals Aida and Miss Saigon, and the first to produce a number of others on the West Coast including A Christmas Carol, Billy Elliot, Sister Act and American Idiot. The company has earned 12 grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and, as of 2024 has put on over 400 musical theater productions.

At least 12 CMT alumni have gone on to perform on Broadway.
