Meet our Owners

Mark and Misty McGrady have owned the dinner theater in Hillsboro since December 27, 2023.  They were approached by the previous owners, Richard and Donna Myers, about buying the theater to keep this important institution going in Mark’s hometown.

The theater is being renamed The Harmony Theater because of the importance of the word and concept of harmony to Mark, Misty, and the Town of Hillsboro.  Mark and Misty met on eHarmony and were married in New Harmony, Indiana which is about halfway between Misty’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee and Mark’s roots in Hillsboro. 

Singing and music have always been an important part of Misty’s life.  She was selected to the All-State Chorus in Tennessee while in high school and was a member of an award-winning barbershop chorus in Nashville.  She has appeared on the stage at Myers Dinner Theatre in Sound of Music, Grease, 9 to 5, and Miracle on 34th Street.  Misty has three sons, one of whom (Caleb Dewitt) has frequently appeared on the MDT stage.  Misty graduated from Austin Peay State University and is an accountant and CPA by profession.

Mark and three of his four children were in one of the early productions at MDT in 2004, Annie Get Your Gun.  Mark’s mother was active in the Hillsboro Harmony Music Club when Mark was growing up, and Mark remembers singing some silly songs and playing his trombone for the music club when he was a boy.  Mark is an attorney and served for two terms as the Fountain County Prosecutor from 1999 to 2006.  Mark graduated from Wabash College and Duke University School of Law.

Mark and Misty have been longtime supporters of the theater. It is their desire to help the theater thrive and to bring harmony to the community by supporting the arts and creating opportunities for harmonious relationships. They want the theater to be a haven for staff, actors, guest directors, technicians, musicians, employees and volunteers to collaborate and create together, as well as educate a new generation of fine arts patrons.
