MTVarts

Step back into the 1950s… where the basement was the place to be.
Welcome to Jan’s rec room — the heart of hangouts, laughter, and late-night conversations. A glowing TV, friends hanging out, and that wall-mounted phone with the never-ending cord…
This is where memories were made, secrets were shared, and the music played.
Cue the good times…

Happy birthday to Janis Stone!!

One of the founders of our beloved organization, she is dedicated to ensuring that theatre education and access to theatre arts is available to all!

We are so blessed she is part of our MTVarts team!

Remember your grandparents’ living room? Oh, the stories it could tell.
Back then, the living room wasn’t just a room—it was the gathering place. The furniture was arranged around that big, boxy television like it was a fireplace, a glowing window to the world right inside your home.
What show did you wait all week to watch?
Not endless choice, not constant streaming… just moments. Shared ones.

Get ready to rock those retro vibes at First Friday. The cast of Grease the Musical is bringing ALL the hand-jivin' energy to the Main Stage tonight! And stick around for a rousing game of NAME THAT GAMESHOW ! There is a chance to win free tickets to see the show.

Do you have a functioning sewing machine in your home that has been collecting dust? We'd love to take it off your hands and give it another life!
With the growth of our education programming and the intention to offer more technical theatre classes from here on out, we are in search of gently used sewing machines to use in upcoming sewing, costuming, and puppet-making classes.
MTVarts is a community theater that relies on you, the community, to bring the arts to life here in Mount Vernon. Your kind donation will positively impact our students and our town for years to come. Thank you!
Email Hannah at [email protected] to schedule a sewing machine drop off at our Warehouse. 14 East Ohio Avenue, Mount Vernon OH 43050

It starts with wood, paint, and a whole lot of imagination.
Bruce, Abi and Mike are hard at work building the iconic soda shop for Grease, and we are already dreaming of jukebox tunes and shared milkshakes.
This is where the magic begins.

Grateful for such a special evening with Paul and Jon Tazewell - thank you both for sharing your artistry and heart. Hearing how family shapes and inspires a successful costume designer was touching. It was such an intimate and meaningful experience, especially for our young actors, who were able to see firsthand how passion, storytelling, and personal connection come together.
Thanks to all who made this rare opportunity possible.
