Welcome Welcome Dear Friends,

Community remains at the core of what we do at MPAC. It is our delight to bring the world’s greatest entertainers to Morristown.

This year is no exception. The 2016-2017 season is a mix of returning favorites and exciting new events. We welcome back the likes of Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, The Doobie Brothers and Kristin Chenoweth, our special encore opening night performer. New events and artists include Gavin DeGraw, the touring productions of Annie and Once, Alan Cumming and Riverdance.

MPAC

Our Mission

Mayo Performing Arts Center, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit performing arts organization, presents a wide range of programs that entertain, enrich and educate the diverse population of the region and enhance the economic vitality of Northern New Jersey.

Cast of Mary Poppins, MPAC’s Spring musical

Our education and outreach efforts remain central to our mission. This past year, over 40,000 children were touched by MPAC events, many exposed to the arts for the first time, such as in our “PAS on the Road” program in Paterson. As Kelly Dailey of Charles J. Riley School #9 said, “The students of Paterson have minimal exposure to arts programs, so MPAC’s program is vital.

It’s been amazing to see how their confidence and interest has grown in such a short time.”

Last year, MPAC students had the chance to perform at The White House, on stage with leading performers, and at senior residences, non-profit fund-raisers and over three dozen other goodwill community events.

Among the events we are excited about is a presentation by Captain Scott Kelly, who will talk about his year in space. Captain Kelly’s visit to MPAC will not only include an evening lecture, but two student lectures -a unique opportunity for children to connect with a true American hero.

We are thrilled to bring these types of enriching experiences to our community.

One of the most eagerly-anticipated new initiatives we launch this year is a series of sensory-friendly performances. We continue to strive to make performing arts experiences welcoming to all children including those on the autism-spectrum and with special needs. Our Education Department will be undergoing training to better serve these children and engage them in theatre arts.

Into The Woods

Stomp

Venture back Into The Woods with the acclaimed Fiasco Theater production that became New York’s surprise hit of this season. Unanimously revered, the Tony Award-winning musical classic by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine has been mounted with boundless imagination. This witty and wildly theatrical re-invention is Into The Woods like you’ve never seen it before!

Stomp is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty and utterly unique—an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. Stomp uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms.

Sunday, February 5, 2017 at 3 pm

Including dazzling songs like “Children Will Listen” and “No One Is Alone,” this thrillingly clever new version made Ben Brantley of The New York Times fall “head over heels.”
