Mesquite Arts Theatre is a non-profit corporation established in 1984 in Mesquite, Texas, by the theatre-loving group of friends who thought it was time that their town had a community theatre. Their first rehearsal space was at a local church. The first two shows were performed at Mesquite High School. They performed such great plays as The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. For a while, the theatre worked from the abandoned church owned by the City of Mesquite, making their own stage and borrowing equipment. Finally in 1995 the city bought an abandoned hospital and renovated it to become partly the Black Box Theater, and partly the Mesquite Arts Center. In 1996, Mesquite Community Theatre opened their first season in their new facility where they work today. Through all these difficult times, the theatre gained a reputation for high production standards and quality plays season after season.
