Help make the magic
Valley Theatre Company is at the very heart of live performance in Ellensburg and the Kittitas Valley. Our shows involve the talents of all age groups - offstage and onstage - for a community experience like no other in our valley. Generous contributions from donors like you helped make each year’s season possible. We are a family, and when you donate and come to one of our shows, you become part of that family, because you experience, with us, the immediacy that only live theater provides.
Over the past 25 years, we have expanded our theatrical offerings from one summer musical blockbuster to 5 regular events, including a youth production, a cabaret style dinner theatre, a Christmas music/poetry event, and a more edgy “After Dark” series with small cast plays and musicals. We’ve also added workshops in acting, technical theatre, stage combat and more. While our mission to provide quality community-based theatre remains unchanged, the number of actors, crew and patrons have grown as well, and there has been a greater need to offer more than just musicals. In the future, we have visions of being able to offer Shakespeare in the Park (at the new Unity Park), Reader’s Theatre, workshops, youth camps, and more!
In July 2023 we updated our organizational name from Valley Musical Theatre to Valley Theatre Company to better reflect the breadth and scope of performing arts that we deliver.
We have two ways you can support our ongoing work. Become a Season Show Supporter, with a one-time or monthly donation, or donate to our Valley Theatre Company Scholarship Fund. In 2022, we established a Valley Musical Theatre Scholarship Fund to support 1-2 graduating Ellensburg High School Seniors with a $1,000 Scholarship. This is another way you can support youth and the arts in our community.
