The Theatre Department at MVC offers a personalized, hands-on approach to education - one that encourages students to fulfill their passion and love of theatre. All students (including freshmen) are invited to audition and participate in all aspects of main stage productions. You will find classes that will challenge and inspire you; productions that are varied and professional; and opportunities that foster your creativity and help you grow in your skills.

We provide quality training within a liberal arts setting, preparing students for professional careers or graduate study. We are proud of our MVC theatre program and tradition, and hope you will want to join us as you begin the next steps in preparing for your future.
