The Miss New Bedford Troupe was founded in 1982 to provide quality live entertainment to community groups and organizations while striving to bring the performing arts to audiences who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Modeled after the Miss America USO Troupe, it features current and past Miss New Bedford titleholders, as well as special guest performers.

Members of the troupe collectively bring well over 100 years of performing experience. Kalent Productions provides its time, equipment and audio engineering services to ensure that all shows are of the highest quality.

City, community and volunteer groups have recognized members of the Troupe for their ongoing commitment to community entertainment. Credits include:
