The Mounds View Community Theatre has long been a hidden gem, but its heart and soul are far from a secret to those who know it. This theatre isn’t just a place to see a show; it’s a place where the Mounds View community comes to life. It’s where neighbors become scene partners, and casual theatregoers become part of a family.
Every production is a testament to the talent and dedication that thrives right here in our backyard. From the lead actors who command the stage to the students who meticulously build the set, each person is essential to bringing the magic of live theatre to our community. The theatre is a living, breathing entity, fueled by a passion for storytelling that resonates with every audience member.
This past year has been particularly exciting, with sold-out performances and new faces both on stage and in the seats. The energy has been electric, a clear sign that the desire for live, local entertainment is stronger than ever. It’s a joy to see familiar faces return for each new show, but it’s just as rewarding to see a first-timer’s eyes light up when the curtains rise. That’s what it’s all about—sharing a moment of wonder and imagination with the people you share a community with.
But what happens off-stage is just as important. The Mounds View Community Theatre is committed to being an accessible and welcoming space for everyone. We believe that theatre is for all, regardless of experience or background. We offer workshops for aspiring actors and hands-on opportunities for anyone interested in lighting, sound, costumes, or set design. It’s a place to learn, grow, and explore your creative side in a supportive environment. The friendships formed during long rehearsals and late-night set builds are just as lasting as the memories of opening night.
As we look toward our next season, we’re filled with excitement and hope. We’re working on a lineup that we know will captivate and inspire. We invite you to be a part of it, whether you’re joining us in the audience, volunteering behind the scenes, or auditioning for a role. The Mounds View Community Theatre is our collective story, and there’s always room for one more voice.
