Theatre Victoria

Founded in 1977, Theatre Victoria produces musical and play productions, presents professional artists and companies to the regional communities, and supports a theatre education program that includes a two week intensive theatre camp.

Theatre Victoria is registered as Victoria Community Theatre Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit tax-exempt organization .Theatre Victoria is governed by a 13 member Board of Governors.

Theatre Victoria has grown from a handful of participants, who stored their properties, sets and costumes in borrowed garages and performed only a few times a year, to a core of 150 active volunteers producing five productions annually and filling over 10,000 seats in its home at the Welder Center.

Strongly believing that theater changes lives, Theatre Victoria is building strategic partnerships with local arts organizations, businesses, individuals - setting the stage for excellence in arts education, show quality and patron experience to directly impact the quality of life in this South Texas region.

Theatre Victoria is creating opportunities for students and members of the community to work directly with professional performing artists. These artists are Broadway actors and professional singers and musicians direct from New York City, Grammy winning recording and pop artists, television and motion picture actors as well as directors and choreographers who work regionally, nationally and internationally. The collaboration with these artists allows Theatre Victoria to demonstrate the value of arts in education to Victoria's diverse and vibrant population from a practical perspective (educational outreach) following through to the end result (performance). This partnership shows from start to finish - training and education → opportunities available → achievable dreams.

Our vision is to be the premier regional theatre of South Texas. As the resident company of the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts, the partnerships Theatre Victoria builds locally will enhance the professional relationships that are being offered to the region. These relationships are to be cultivated, strengthened and enhanced through active participation and collaboration - locally and nationally. Theatre Victoria and the Welder Center offer opportunities for personal and professional growth in business, education and the arts.
