MIFA Victory Theatre

Victory Giving

Over the past 30 years, MIFA has presented and sponsored the finest examples of contemporary practice in performing, visual, and literary arts, bringing esteemed artists and world-class events to Holyoke and Western Mass. 

In 2009, MIFA embarked on the $71M Victory Theatre restoration project to return it as a performing arts center for the region.  A restored Victory will enhance the community’s experience of artistic innovation through theatre and live performance, expand our identity as a partner in educational programs, vocational training, and cross-cultural programming, and deepen the strength of the creative economy in Holyoke as a source of economic development for the region as a whole.

To build an appetite for programming at the soon-to-be reopened theater, MIFA presents events in a variety of other venues and virtually, to enhance the region’s reputation in arts & entertainment. MIFA is proud to have the Victory Players as the first program of its Victory Theatre International Arts Academy, a key feature of MIFA's Education Outreach Program and the festival’s conception for the reopening of the Victory Theatre.
