Our Mission
MVLCT creates theatre to build and inspire community.
Our Vision
We provide creative opportunities to artists of all skill and experience levels. We engage audiences and volunteer artists in theatre that entertains, educates, challenges, and delights.
Our Values
The time we have on this planet is both short and miraculous. Yet in this time, as artists we have the opportunity and responsibility to be storytellers and interpreters of the human condition. We want to do this with love, inclusivity, compassion, and sensitivity. How we treat each other, work with each other, and make essential art is critical.
To this end, members of the Board of Directors for the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Theatre…
Understand that our community encompasses everyone who has stepped into our space, so we work to make everyone feel welcome.
Believe that a rich diversity of people, ideas, and experiences gives us strength and compels us to listen to new, familiar, and untold stories.
Strive to create an environment of trust by treating each other with respect and kindness. We always encourage each other to express ourselves.
Depend on each other for clear, honest, and responsible communication.
Value the learning that comes from from difficult conversations; we believe that there is always more to learn. There is no question we can't ask.
Embrace individuality and personal strengths and celebrate collaboration.
Take personal responsibility for the quality of our work and our environment.
Take pride in our work, yet we find joy in challenging ourselves to do better.
Aspire to these values and forgive each other when we fall short.
Allow us to include you on this journey -- we’re thrilled to have you along!
