MPAC Membership is your ticket to great theater in Morristown! In addition to great benefits from membership, including the ability to purchase tickets to events prior to public onsales, discounts on select performances, ticket exchange privileges and more, you are playing an important supporting role in our operation. As a non-profit theatre, MPAC relies on Membership income to offset the costs of presenting over 200 events and 100 education programs each year. Many of our education programs are free, making memberships a critical component to our Youth Arts Education and Outreach Program. Providing cultural enrichment, especially for children in need, helps MPAC to improve the livability of our community and the sustainability of the arts for over 200,000 adults and students who participate in our programming and events each year.
