Have you MET us? When Joseph S. Jarvis became head of Mesa Parks and Recreation Department in 1937, his desire was "to make Mesa a beautiful place for all to live". Recognizing the need for a community recreational and cultural program, one of his first orders of business was to start a theatre group. From its humble beginnings on a school stage, to loading flats and properties on a truck and traveling to performance locations, MET has remained a part of Mesa's cultural experience for over 60 years.
Throughout those years, thousands of volunteers have worked to carry on the Jarvis legacy. By donating their time, talent and financial support, MET has produced over 175 full length plays. MET has brought together members of the community to act, sing, build sets, stage manage, run lights and sound, sell tickets, usher and bake refreshments for intermission. We believe that's what community theatre is all about! Today, Mesa Encore Theatre still operates through the efforts of volunteers working to provide a wonderful evening of live theatre season after season. We hope you will join us and share in the experience as we present some of theatre's greatest plays. Join us for the truly magical experience of live theatre! Mission Statement: Mesa Encore Theatre strives to bring the fun and excitement of live theatre with integrity and dedication to excellence. We are committed to being an integral part of the cultural experience that contributes to the quality of life for our community and rededicates our vision every year to be a major contributor to Mesa's performing arts. MET respects the talents and skills of its volunteers and welcomes everyone to come enjoy and enhance their performing arts experience.
