WHAT OUR MVPs SAY

  • “I went to MVP's production of All in the Timing last weekend. I expected an 'Off-Broadway' experience; living in NYC, Broadway shows are, in general, easily accessible. I was happy to watch what was truly a wonderful theatre experience. All 6 short plays were genuinely funny.😀 The actors committed to each scene...and did not miss a beat. Since it's only like a 50 seat theater I didn't waste any time in buying a ticket to next weekend's show...didn't want to not have a seat,”

    DAVID N.
  • “CONGRATULATIONS on a fabulous run of All In The Timing! And Thank you....Fabulous performances! Spot on directing! Great night of theatre! Rock on!!”

    MIKAELA K.
  • “Little did I know when I stepped into Rita Greco's kitchen to meet the Board of Directors back in 1995 that I would still be involved with MVP 20 years later. I have had the best time meeting literally hundreds of the nicest, most amazingly talented people and can call many friends. A genuine THANK YOU to everyone for having me as a member of the MVP "family".”

    NORA M.
