Thornton Wilder Center for the Arts began with a grassroots group of parents and educators who saw an unaddressed need, going back to 1970, for a never-built performance venue at ConVal Regional High School. They recognize that arts are an integral part of a well-rounded education; that an excellent school system attracts residents and business; and that a performing arts center would enrich both the school and the greater community.
