The Mount Vernon Players has been bringing quality theater experiences to Mount Vernon and Knox County for over 60 years. We pride themselves on being the longest running and oldest volunteer community theater group in the county!

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.
