The Mount Vernon Players, a non-profit organization, shall have as its foremost objective the creation of quality theatrical experiences, both as audience and participant, for members of the Mount Vernon and Knox County communities.
Furthermore, we endeavor to provide a constant forum for theatrical education, learning from each other, as well as from our collective successes and failures.
We believe that the success of our organization is commensurate with the personal enrichment experienced by each member, and by our ability to attract increasing numbers from the community to our midst.
Accordingly, we shall always welcome new participants in our learning and fellowship.
We cherish our amateur status, not only because it exhibits our commitment to the theater novice, but also because it demonstrates our pursuit of theater for theater’s sake alone.
We acknowledge that, as in the professional ranks, a true theatrical education requires knowledge of all facets of the craft, both dramatic and technical.
We therefore, shall encourage our members to participate in a wide spectrum of production tasks in the belief that work in one area illuminates, and is illuminated by, work in another.
