ABOUT MTW
We stage high-quality live theatre from concept to performance in order to:
-
Entertain, educate, and enrich our greater Wenatchee Valley community
-
Provide opportunities for individuals to develop and use their artistic skills and talents
-
Advance local performing arts and theatre appreciation
We strive to do so in an inclusive, supportive, congenial, and creative atmosphere.
OUR MISSION
Founded in 1961, we are a volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our home is the Riverside Playhouse in downtown Wenatchee, an intimate, “thrust stage” setting. We perform our bigger shows at the Numerica Performing Arts Center. A typical season can include musicals, comedies, melodramas, thrillers, and more, culminating with our big spring musical production during Wenatchee’s Apple Blossom Festival. We also sponsor the Short Shakespeareans, dedicated to advancing youth theater. We are guided and governed by our membership through an elected board of trustees.
OUR ORGANIZATION
We are governed by a volunteer board of fifteen trustees, including four officers and the past president. All are elected by our membership at our annual meeting and serve two-year terms. We recognize trustees who have served with distinction and excellence as Trustees Emeritus, an honorary, non-voting position.
