This is the essence of art, and kids are learning that at ArtsView in a fun and engaging way.” Ricky is married to Amanda Thompson, and they have two beautiful children, Conner and Abigail.

Mark Roedel considers ArtsView his happy place, and it's easy to see why. He’s worn many hats at ArtsView, including on-stage roles, playing in pit orchestras, serving as a rehearsal accompanist, musical director, and sound cue operator.

Originally from Austin, Mason found his way to Longview for school in 2021 and, along the way, found a wife who introduced him to the ArtsView family. Now in his final semester, Mason is about to graduate with a Bachelor's in Professional Flight and hopes to stay in East Texas as a flight instructor. With a heart full of gratitude, Mason thanks God, his wife, his two cats (whom he lovingly calls his sons), VocalView, and ArtsView for this incredible opportunity. He’s excited to share this new adventure on stage with all of you.

Are you ready for the most thrilling and daring theatrical event of the year? ArtsView is proud to announce its second annual 24-Hour Musical, where anyone ages 13-100 will audition for a mystery musical, completely unaware of the show they're trying out for! This adrenaline-pumping event will push the boundaries of creativity and talent, and you won't want to miss it. Over the next several months, our talented production team will be hard at work, building sets, creating costumes, and crafting props, all while keeping the show a closely guarded secret. The suspense will be fueling the excitement for what's to come. Finally, on Friday, December 13, at 7:00 PM, the cast will discover the show they'll be performing and the roles they'll play. From that very moment, the clock starts ticking, and an intense 24-hour rehearsal period begins. For 24 hours straight, the cast will immerse themselves in the world of the mystery musical, learning lines, choreography, and music at lightning speed. It's an extraordinary feat that will test their dedication, teamwork, and talent. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will forge unforgettable memories. After a whirlwind day of preparation, the cast will take the stage on Saturday, December 14, at 7:00 PM, ready to give it their all with a public performance! And just like the cast, the audience will also be in for a surprise. They won't know the show they're about to witness until the overture begins. Mark your calendars for December 14 and get ready to be swept off your feet by ArtsView's 24-Hour Musical Project. Join us August 15-17 to audition for ArtsView's 24-Hour Musical - an event like no other!
