Our Story
Founded by Cooper LaMontagne in 2024, The Mountain Productions is a Nonprofit theatre production company. Our premiere production, Spring Awakening, took place in June 2024 and featured longtime friends and colleagues from across the country who returned to Florida's Space Coast to bring a dream production to life. What began as a high school fantasy became a reality, thanks entirely to the generosity of the community, the production team, and an endlessly determined 18-year-old. With the purpose of bringing this important message to the community, we wanted to pay it forward, and donated all profits from the production to two local nonprofit organizations - Ways for Life and To Write Love On Her Arms.
Our Work and Impact
Theatrical Development & Production
"The individuals part of Spring Awakening are the most talented, professional, and hardworking group of people I have ever worked with. It's like lighting struck, truly. I will cherish this moment and these people forever."
- Cooper LaMontagne, Producer of Spring Awakening & Founder of The Mountain Productions
"This show is intimate, and the audience is close enough to see every detail. One very special aspect of our set was picture frames carried on a breeze through the painted trees. I included contemporary art, and even a photo of the playwright. Functionality preceded the design, but we wanted the functionality to be as integral as any paint or light."
- Miranda Roub, Scenic Designer
Spring Awakening
Our premiere production of Spring Awakening in June 2024 consisted of 13 actors, many of which studying at various BFA programs around the country including The Boston Conservatory, Ithaca College, University of Florida, Florida State University, and University of Pennsylvania. 5 of these actors served in roles on the creative team, some in multiple - choreographer, music director, costumer, dramaturg, scenic designer, and producer. Our cast rehearsed for only 11 days, showing up fully prepared with all of their material on day one.
Design
Scenic design plays a vital role in theatre, shaping the environment and mood to fully immerse the audience in the story. For Spring Awakening, our designer transformed the intimate black box space into a cohesive world where every element — lighting, props, set pieces, and wall artwork — worked in harmony to draw the audience into the play's emotional and visual narrative from the moment they entered the space.
Costumes
Costumes for Spring Awakening seamlessly blended the essence of 19th-century German society with the contemporary edge of the rock musical score. This approach bridged the historical world of the play with the modern energy of its music, creating a cohesive and impactful visual narrative. We were also incredibly fortunate to have many of the costume pieces generously donated, making this vision possible.
