We create accessible experiences, opportunities, and spaces where our community can shape and be shaped by the arts.
As a result, Market Theatre strengthens our community and impacts thousands each year with engaging education programs, community-building outreach events, and quality mainstage performances.
Our commitment to accessibility
We see accessibility as the practice of breaking down the barriers that stand between our community and the arts. Those barriers could be finances, location, or misunderstandings.
We’re here to make the arts available and engaging for every single person in our community, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Our areas of programming
To make the arts for everyone, we focus in the three core areas of Education, Outreach, and Mainstage Productions.
• Education: summer camps, year-round classes, & in-school performances
• Outreach: free shows in the park, 24 Hour Musical, & community tours
• Mainstage Productions: seasons of diverse and high-quality in-house plays and musicals offering something for everyone
Our impact and accomplishments
We measure our impact in many different ways.
Just to name a few: the $500,000+ in local economic activity that we bring to Anderson annually, the more than 8,500 people that engage with our programming each year, & the dozens of awards and honors we’ve received.
Any way you slice it, we’re serious about making our community stronger.
