Powered by GoogleSaw Your a Good Man Charlie Brown last night. First time to see a production at The MAC. It was awesomeness.
The MAC is such an awesome place. If you're a lover of the arts, this place is definitely for you. They go to great lengths to put on multiple productions throughout the year for members of the community that are kids or adults and they're always put on with the best professionalism possible. The MAC also often serves as a meeting place for other non-profits and they're activities, like BEFH, which I appreciate. The executive director there is great at what she does and her staff is too. This is a great place to support and I hope that Manhattan makes sure this wonderful place continues to thrive!
I love the MAC It has the best modo "the arts for all" it's so true . I'm a actor ( Humpty Dumpty) and the directors are so nice (mrs.Adde is my favorite) in all everybody is really nice. - cole
I LOVE THE MAC!! It is my favorite place everrrr and it makes so happy and the community is so amazing and positive! I consider it a 2nd home because I love it so much! Ive done more than 15 shows there and I’ve loved every second of it. I met some of my best friends at the MAC like Heidi Wolf Berhow and I love theater. I have so many positive memories there and it’s always the highlight of my day when I get to go to rehearsal or the MAC. They always put on amazing shows and I’m so proud of everyone at the MAC. I love the MAC’s message of Arts for all and it’s so positive and powerful!!
I saw a matinee performance of "As you like it". A comedy of Shakespeare's. Very inventive and different from what you might imagine. Minimal set and costumes, but only added to the humor. The script also appeared on the screen behind. This too added to the enjoyment and experience.
