Welcome to Carson Valley Community Theatre

Carson Valley Community Theatre (CVCT) was organized in May, 2004, to meet the need for a community theatre in the Carson Valley area of Douglas County, Nevada. Based in Minden/Gardnerville, CVCT draws members, participants, and audiences from the surrounding area of Nevada and California, including the towns of Minden, Gardnerville, Carson City, Genoa, Reno, Markleeville, and communities around Lake Tahoe and Lake Topaz.

An all-volunteer organization, CVCT has a 7-member board of directors that serves as a management and administrative staff, and it draws additional support from about 1500 members. CVCT’s mission is to promote, create, design, and perform theatrical events for the Carson Valley community and the general public. In addition, the education of and outreach to children and the public are significant missions of the community theater. CVCT works with the Douglas High School Music and Drama Departments to encourage participation on and off stage.

As an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, performing arts theatre production company, the Carson Valley Community Theatre’s (CVCT) mission is to present theatrical productions for the entertainment and cultural education of the Carson Valley community and the surrounding area, to develop and showcase local talent, and to provide opportunities for residents of the region to participate in all aspects of live theatre production.  

Carson Valley Community Theatre’s vision is to be recognized for its high level of artistry and professionalism by consistently producing and performing quality theatrical and related events.
