Established in the autumn of 2005, Magnolia Arts Center was founded with the mission of creating a comprehensive arts organization to serve Greenville and the surrounding areas. For two decades, Magnolia has delivered a myriad of plays, musicals, and special events. We invite you to explore our upcoming events in our 2025 season.
The NC Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service awarded Magnolia Arts Center the 2024 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award, honoring the true spirit of volunteerism by recognizing individuals and groups that make a significant contribution to their community through volunteer service.
WHAT’S COMING UP AT MAGNOLIA ARTS CENTER
January
The Glass Menagerie
The Glass Menagerie is a play by American playwright Tennessee Williams that premiered in 1944. It is a memory play, narrated and partially re-enacted by Tom Wingfield, and it revolves around the lives of Tom, his mother Amanda, and his sister Laura. The family grapples with the challenges of daily life in St. Louis during the 1930s, particularly Amanda’s desperate attempts to secure a suitor for the painfully shy and physically challenged Laura.
