Our Story: The History of Prescott Valley Performing Arts

Prescott Valley Performing Arts (PVPA) has been at the heart of the community for over two decades, bringing together performers, families, and audiences through the magic of live theatre.

How It All Began

In 2000, theatre visionary Clyde Neville brought You're a Good Man Charlie Brown to Prescott Valley to see if the community could support a community theatre. The show was a great success, so he produced more shows in Prescott Valley over the next few years. In 2004, Prescott Valley Performing Arts was incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit theatre and the group performed as Lonesome Valley Playhouse. Their mission: to bring quality live performances to Prescott Valley and create a space where people of all ages could share their love of the arts.

Without a dedicated venue, the group performed wherever possible—community centers, school gyms, and temporary stages. These early productions were filled with heart, passion, and a growing audience that kept coming back.

“We didn’t have a stage of our own, but we had a story to tell—and a community that believed in us.”
— Clyde Neville, Founder

Building the Dream

In 2017, Clyde approached the Fain family in hopes of finding a permanent home. Within a couple of years, their generosity led to a lease agreement for land next to the Findlay Toyota Center—for just $1 per year.

With that incredible gift, PVPA began the journey to build a theatre from the ground up. Thanks to over 20,000 hours of donated volunteer labor, materials, and local support, the Main Street Theatre officially opened its doors in 2022.

“This theatre wasn’t built by contractors—it was built by heart.”
— PVPA Volunteer
