elcome to the next twenty years!I’m excited about the future of the Mountain View Center for the
Performing Arts, mostly because of our pasttwenty years. We’ve brought new music, new art, new theatre, and new ideas to Castro Street with astounding regularity since the Center’s dedication in January 1991,and there’s no end in sight!
I don’t think anyone fully realized what wasstarted back in the late 1980’s when the Cityof Mountain View decided to dedicate part ofit’s new Civic Center Complex to the arts. (I still have architect’s drawings in my officethat refer to the “Mountain View CommunityTheater.”) But those visionaries knew thathowever it evolved, a public theater spacewould be important to the economic and cultural well-being of the newly redevelopedDowntown as well as to the surrounding community and region. So, with the supportof the citizens of Mountain View, city leaderstook their chances, and went ahead and builta beautiful facility for the arts.
Guess what? Those forward-thinking civicleaders got it right! Their experiment in community arts is now the vibrant heart ofdowntown Mountain View, home of world-class theatre, dance, and music along withvisual arts displays, lectures, and corporateevents. Over 170,000 people annually flockdowntown to see those shows, stopping inshops and restaurants on the way.
Audiences at the Center have seen perfor-mances by Joel Gray, Paula Poundstone, AudraMacDonald, Della Reese, Dizzy Gillespie andthe Duke Ellington Orchestra. They’ve metRobert Redford, Al Gore, primatologist Jane
Goodall, radio hostMichael Krasny,business giants JackWelch and GuyKawasaki, and sportslegend Bill Walsh.They’ve listened tolectures by writersPeter Matthiesen,Robert Hass, TerryTempest Williams,photographer GalenRowell and manymore. World-classperformances by
TheatreWorks, Smuin Ballet, Bella LewitzkyDance and Pilobolus, and many internationally-known flamenco artists as well as regionalfavorites like The Pickle Family Circus, The Nuclear Whales and Schola Cantorumhave entertained millions of Center patrons.
But it doesn’t stop there. Mountain View Centerfor the Performing Arts isn’t just a place towatch other people, it’s a place to create artyourself. Whether it be singing in communitychoruses, playing in small ensembles and symphonies, or dancing with ballet schoolsand folkloric groups, every season sees numerous shows by local artists contributingto the community in their own way.
An entire generation of performers has learnedto act, sing, dance, and play for an audienceon the Center’s three stages, thanks to thework of local schools and organizations likePeninsula Youth Theatre, Pacific Ballet, WesternBallet, Oriki Theatre, and Quadre–the Voice ofFour Horns. These groups’ work will live on inthose young performers’ hearts, whether theirart becomes a career or an avocation.
WWCelebrating MVCPA’s
20th AnniversaryWho knows how many careers in the arts have been launched by these companies, or by TheatreWorks’ New Works and YoungPlaywrights Initiatives? Tony Award-winningBroadway musical Memphis, first performedhere at the Center, is the most visible success of those programs, but it isn’t alone, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
What will the next twenty years bring? I’mpleased to say, the next two decades will bringmore of the same! More new plays! More newmusic! More new ideas! And more young artistssharing, growing and creating the art that willkeep Mountain View vibrant and alive! �
