The Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center is a facility by and for the people of Martha’s Vineyard.

We are well on our way towards becoming a cherished island institution; a place where residents and visitors find memorable performances and meaningful dialogue. I am dedicated to maintaining this wonderful facility for the people of this island, to provide activities of interest to diverse audiences. We have hosted full houses of elementary students, enthralled by their first taste of live theater, and we have hosted Town Meetings, forums for the issues and policies that directly affect our lives. Tiny violinists have graced our stage, as have the Boston Ballet and James Taylor.  Health Care, housing, and hurricanes have been discussed, and really good Irish music has been performed. The annual High School Musical in February is probably the best treatment for cabin fever on the island.
