The most delightful surprise that I experienced in my relocation to Marin County in the Bay Area was my entertainment experience at the Throckmorton Theatre followed by my volunteering that lasted throughout the 7 years until my move to another state.
The "talent" was uniquely diverse, colorful, energetic, enlightening, musical, hilarious, artful, affordable, and supportive to the community. It was all enhanced by the intimacy of this historical setting and with so much highly accomplished entertainment reserved for larger venues and stadiums, I felt it was a privilege to feel a part of the "Throck" performances in a way I had never experienced. It was not unusual for the performers and celebrities to acknowledge the unique pleasure of connection with the audiences there as well as the owner Lucy Mercer and staff. I look forward to attending live theatre again in the future in other towns but will always feel grateful and nostalgic about that jewel of Mill Valley.

Mill Valley LiveArts (aka the Throckmorton Theatre) is a gem! From weekly concerts to large scale musicals to comedy and more(!), the theatre offers a hub of creative and talented entertainment for the public and a beautiful platform to showcase those who perform there. The theatre provides scholarships for children who need help covering tuition for participating in youth productions. The Bay Area is so fortunate to have the theatre and its programming available and Mill Valley is lucky to be the theatre's home. The superior level of live events and Steve Coleman's fantastic art and stage sets are unsurpassed!
We just love Mill Valley LiveArts and Throckmorton Theatre. This organization has exposed so many young children to the world of theatre and music. Both of my children have participated in musical productions on stage over several years and have learned so much about being a responsible actor.
We are thrilled with the community that has been created in our little town by Mill Valley LiveArts and really enjoy all of the shows by both the children and the adults performers.
My daughter has really blossomed through her participation in Throckmorton classes and productions! The staff is so talented, hardworking, and supportive and it's a wonderful community to be involved in!
This thriving arts center is bursting with powerful work on so many fronts. Don't miss Tuesday Night Comedy, Mt Film Festival or one of their fabulous theatre productions.
Mill Valley Livearts has so much to offer!
Their door is open every day and night. From the highly creative theatre productions to the weekly noon concerts, ( and the world-class music, films, lectures in between! ) there is always something for everyone to engage and enjoy.
It's a treasure not only in Marin but also in the Bay area's arts/cultural scene.
Kudos to Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley!
This extraordinary artistic hub is dedicated to community and all the fine and performing arts.
It is a Marin treasure; the high level of content plus the true commitment to bringing in many audiences and performers- diverse in every way- make it an invaluable asset to Marin County.
The highest recommendation!
They are really creating an amazing community with incredible energy and helping to spread the arts. What a treasure.
My daughter has been attending Throckmorton Theatre for more than a year and has been in several productions. The Directors, teachers, and all employees have created a positive, welcoming environment and we are honored to be a part of such a great community. My personal background was in the arts and I have been exposed to theaters, teachers, choreographers, producers, dancers, camps and programs all of my youth and I've truly enjoyed the positive approach at this one.
I absolutely love Mill Valley Livearts. They have the most talented and professional staff with a ton of knowledge, experience and energy! My daughter has been a part of their shows for the past year and it' the only place she wants to be. They are a great asset to the Mill Valley community.
The Mill Valley Live Arts brings so much richness of the arts to the community. I especially love the professional musical programs on Wednesdays at noon---for free. Then there is the vast array of youth programs, so artistically nourishing to the young person. Theatre, performance arts, comedy, lectures, art shows, etc.-- This is a much appreciated and rare nonprofit!!
Mill Valley Live arts and the Throckmorton Theatre is an amazing organization. Bringing top notch entertainment and live events to the community as wells as providing invaluable experiences for young people through educational programs. They have an incredible ability to attract world renowned talent while at the same time nurturing and supporting local growing talent. Main would be a lets fun, less cultured, and less educated place without them.
