New Alumni Theatre Dedicated to MVS Performing Arts

Plans are underway to convert the existing lower school gymnasium into a dedicated space for MVS Performing Arts. The multi-purpose space, which will be dedicated as The Alumni Theatre, will be designed to be extremely flexible and enhance programmatic opportunities at the school. The project was researched by a faculty led team who examined various studio theatres around the region and recommended space configurations. The theatre is now in its initial fundraising phase and is expected to premiere during Homecoming.
