Theater on MV

Opening May 26, 2012

Theater has been a vibrant part of Martha's Vineyard's cultural landscape for more than a hundred years. Playhouses, open fields, schools, and churches across the island provided the stage for seasoned and novice actors, directors, and playwrights. Summer theater, in particular, has entertained generations of island visitors; the island has also been a place of refuge and recharging for stars of stage and screen. Show Time: 100 Years of Theater on Martha's Vineyard a collaborative exhibition scheduled to run from late May 26th, 2012 - April 20th, 2013, will explore the deep connections between the island and the performing arts and artists it has hosted over the years.
