Dear MAC Friends!

At the McAninch Art Center, we believe in the power of live performance to lift our spirits, stir our imaginations and bring us together. This season, we invite you to take a well-deserved break from the everyday–because world-class talent and unforgettable experiences are just minutes away. 

Season Highlights Include: Emmy-nominated actor and legendary comic Paul Reiser, live in the evening of stories and stand-up, and the sharp wit of comedians Paula Poundstone and Pat Tomasulo. Artists from around the glob include: The thunderous athleticism of Drum Tao, Japan’s internationally known percussion troupe. The soul-stirring harmonies of Soweto Gospel Choir, from South Africa. And favorite musical tributes to iconic artists like Queen, Taylor Swift, Neil Diamond, George Michael, The Carpenters, and the music of James Taylor, Carly Simon and Carol King. 

We’re proud to serve as your local destination for the arts, bringing the energy of the world’s stage to your backyard. We can’t wait to welcome you for a season full of entertainment, connection and joy.

Step out of the world and into the MAC, and let the season move you. 

All the best,
Diana Martinez,
MAC Director
