Built as a labor of love in 1979 by founders Tom Ormeny and Maria Gobetti, the Victory Theatre Center has a history of producing quality shows aimed at giving the community thought-provoking and entertaining theatrical experiences. These live theatrical events serve as an intellectual and emotional touchstone of expression — a place whereplaywrights can realize their unique visions — a place where audiences can share in a deeper sense of humanity.

Now in its 27th season, the Victory Theatre Center has produced hundreds of productions resulting in numerous artistic nominations and awards. But as impressive as those accolades are – it is the artistic vision and development of new voices for the American theatre that sets the Victory apart. By combining quality productions within an intimate playing space – the Victory Theatre Center offers a rich theatrical experience to each person who walks through the door. The Victory Theatre Center is a multi-disciplinary venue consisting of two theatres, the Gobetti-Ormeny Acting Studio and a dramaturge and development division dedicated to nurturing new work by local and national writers.
