YTA 2023-24 Season

Yerington Theatre for the ARTS (YTA) was founded in 1984 by a group of local citizens in response to the need for quality arts programming that was appropriate, affordable and accessible for the people living in the Walker River Basin area of Northern Nevada. Today, YTA is recognized as one of Nevada’s finest arts organizations. During the first years, the group presented touring performances and events in a variety of venues from school gyms and church centers to old warehouses and outdoor parks. In 1988, led by the late Jeanne Dini, the citizens of Yerington came together to rehabilitate historic Yerington Grammar School No. 9 into a much needed performing arts center.Yerington Theatre for the ARTS at The Jeanne Dini Cultural CenterYTA at The Jeanne Dini Center was opened to the public in January 1998 and is home to an eclectic mix of performing, literary, and visual arts.
