Mounds View Community Theater, now in our 35th year.
Your financial contribution to MVCT will directly support high-quality, musical theater
for audience members of all ages.
The time and talents of hundreds of volunteers
complete the live theater experience.
Some of the costs of this endeavor include royalties and script and music rental of
thousands of dollars. MVCT must rent the theater, rehearsal space, and back stage areas
for each hour used.
The artistic and music directors, choreographer, costumer, set and sound designers, stage
manager and rehearsal pianists are all compensated for their time and talent.
The
costumer and set designer each have a budget to pay for materials and rented items.
Props
that can't be created, found, borrowed or made must be rented or purchased.
Ticket sales pay for less than 75% of the production budget.
Exhaustive measures are
taken by volunteers to raise funds during community events by sponsoring Bingo games,
selling refreshments, ad sales for our production program and sponsors
for each of our performances.
Grant dollars are sought each year to help maintain our
high standards
We also provide accommodations for our hearing and visually impaired patrons when
requested in advance.
Your gift will help us defray the cost of interpreters and assistive
device equipment rental
