Set against the gritty backdrop of New York City’s East Village during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the show captures the spirit of a generation of artists and dreamers who are striving to create a life defined by love, community, and authenticity — even as they grapple with poverty, addiction, and the devastating impact of the AIDS epidemic. Inspired by Puccini’s opera La Bohème, Larson’s modern retelling transforms the classic into a fiercely contemporary musical that speaks to timeless human struggles. The story follows a year in the life of a group of young friends and artists trying to live honestly and creatively while facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. Mark, a filmmaker documenting their lives, and his roommate Roger, a struggling musician with a past marked by tragedy, anchor the ensemble. Their friends — Mimi, a vivacious dancer battling addiction; Tom Collins, a kind-hearted professor; Angel, a radiant drag performer with a generous soul; Maureen, a performance artist with a flair for drama;... --- BROADWAY BOUND Jan. 23-Feb. 8, 2026 Neil Simon's comical and poignant conclusion to the Eugene trilogy.

The gallery exists to exhibit artwork from the professional to emerging artists in Southeastern Massachusetts and beyond. We are a home for individual artists exploring diverse creative opportunities that challenge, educate, and inspire the artist as well as the visitors who come to experience our many exhibitions each year. The Morini Gallery operates under the umbrella of The Mass Arts Center. Together, we provide multiple creative disciplines in our artistic community home through representational art, performance art, and musical and theatrical presentations. The gallery curators create a full year of calls for our Artists Series including shows that include professionally juried community shows, solo, and collaborative exhibitions, as well as open show exhibits with full community involvement. History: In October of 2009, MMAS held an expansion campaign that provided a beautiful and much-needed gallery space. The Morini family supported the capital campaign through a naming opportunity. Until 1972, the present location of the gallery was the Morini Supermarket. Family members believed it was fitting that where once the community was nourished by food and other provisions, so the same location would now continue to nourish the community in a different way. Now, The Morini Gallery will provide expressions of art for purchase to feed our local creatives and be enjoyed by our beloved supporters of the arts. To this day we continue that mission.

Most were held virtually during the height of the pandemic and are now back in person in our newly renovated studio.

Click here to download the 2-page Financial Assistance form --- Weather related cancellations are inevitable in New England and to that point, we never know what we will face. 2014 was not that long ago. As a preemptive strike, MMAS Academy has scheduled two additional weeks (17 classes in the spring vs. 15 classes in the fall) for many of our classes to make for easier makeups if and when classes are cancelled due to weather-related issues. Last year we had very good attendance during school vacation weeks, so with that in mind, MMAS has decided to use February and April vacation to make-up for possible cancellations. The faculty will keep track of cancellations and advise families if and when vacation weeks will be utilized. If there are no cancellations, students and faculty will take those weeks off. It is understood that some students may not be available to attend these possible makeup dates and those students will be brought up to speed when they return to class. Makeup classes rarely provide a perfect solution for every student but MMAS is doing its level best to maximize attendance when makeups are necessary. Thank you in advance for helping us keep pace with what are typically unpredictable conditions. About weather-related cancellations: MMAS will always rule on the side of safety when deciding whether to run classes. MMAS does not necessarily cancel when there is a school closing. Often, roads are clear and conditions improve by the time classes begin. During the week, families will be notified no later than 1pm about... --- Latest Auditions The Mass Arts Center produces several full-scale plays and musicals each season.  Auditions are posted on the website and in emails.

If you wish to volunteer in some other capacity (stage manager, director, etc. ) click here to send us your information. You may opt out of receiving emails, calls or postal mail at any time. Audition Policies and Information Audition Notices: The Mass Arts Center will post notices on the website periodically about upcoming auditions. Notices will include scheduling contact information, materials required, and information about the production. Preliminary Auditions: All audition requests will be scheduled. Please read the audition notices carefully as different directors have different preferences for audition times and material. Some may ask for a short monologue, some will require cold readings. Make sure you know what is required for your particular audition. Callbacks: Callbacks are typically held shortly after the preliminary audition. If you are called back, you are best served to familiarize yourself with the scripts and music (if applicable) as you will likely be asked to read or sing for different parts. Audition Conflicts: If you cannot attend either the preliminary audition or the callback but you are interested in auditioning please let your audition coordinator know so that he or she can contact the director to work out an alternate time/option.

At our core is a rich schedule of theater productions, performing arts education, art exhibits, and live entertainment. The synergy of these offerings honors individual artistic interests through diverse creative opportunities. It all started with (now Executive Director) Ken Butler and a few friends throwing $8 and a dream into a coffee can and forming a small theater company in 1993 known as the Mansfield Music & Arts Society (MMAS). Since then, hundreds of artists and volunteers have worked tirelessly to embrace their original vision of providing a home for the arts in southeastern Massachusetts. In late 2020 The Mass Arts Center moved from 377 North Main St. , into a larger, now renovated property at 888 South Main St. in Mansfield. Today, the organization is known as The Mass Arts Center and operates at 888 South Main Street with three branches of the organization: The Reservoir Stage, the Morini Art Gallery, and The Academy at Mass Arts. The organization seeks to provide a wide array of education, programs, performances, and opportunities for both aspiring and experienced performers, artists, and patrons from across the region.

This talented family takes center stage in a heartwarming tale of tradition and togetherness. The Lamont Family is featured in our production of A Christmas Carol The Lamont Family. From left: Simon, Nathan, Chrissy, and Oscar. By Dori Bryan-PloyerThe Mass Arts Center For Chrissy and Nathan Lamont, Christmas at the Mass Arts Center has become a genuine family affair. Nathan and Chrissy will appear with their two sons, Oscar and Simon in Mass Arts Center’s production of the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. MORE ABOUT A CHRISTMAS CAROL DEC. 5-15, 2024 - + TICKETS Director Steve Dooner adapted the story for the MAC stage emphasizing not only Scrooge’s story, but the stories of the women who suffered under Scrooge’s cold heart; Dickens narration anchors the telling. Chrissy Lamont is charged with all three highlighted voices moving seamlessly from Dickens all-knowing Storyteller to Scrooge’s lost love, Belle, and finally to the strong, unapologetic, Mrs. Cratchit. Nathan Lamont is equally challenged playing the miser himself, a role with which Nathan is familiar, having performed several staged readings of the Yuletide grouch over the years. Sons, Oscar, 13, and Simon, 10, complete the Lamont family portrait, playing the lonely Young Scrooge and the sensitive Peter Cratchit, respectively. Chrissy admits it is tricky navigating between mom and co-actor to her two boys. "We tend to talk about the expectations on the way to and from rehearsal," laughs Chrissy, “ are approaching our dual roles with grace and humor. ” Chrissy and Nathan met two decades ago while performing in a local production of Guys and Dolls where they... --- AUDITION NOTICE: Legally Blonde Jr. : The Musical The Mass Arts Center proudly announces auditions for Legally Blonde Jr. Directed & Choreographed by: Dori Bryan-PloyerMusic Directed by: Esther ZabinskiStage Managed by: Maggie Ault WHERE: The Mass Arts Center888 South Main StreetMansfield MA 02048 WHEN: Sat Jan. 18: 2:00-5:00 Preliminary AuditionsSun Jan 19: 5:00-8:00 Callbacks (5:00-6:00 Dance Audition: Dress for Movement. )6:00-8:00 (Readings and song selections from the show. ) WHO: Seeking singers/dancers/actors ages 10-18.

So, it was ... ... while our Academy students were in class in the studio, the cast of Beautiful was in the dressing room getting ready for an added matinee performance necessitated by a sold-out run. The previously unscheduled performance conflicted with our afternoon class, but arrangements had been made to ensure that the class would be released prior to the start of the Beautiful performance. All was well; however, the dismissal time did not allow for the cast’s performance warm-up. The Academy students were asked if the cast of Beautiful could watch some of their rehearsal, after which, both the class and the cast could participate in a warm-up together. The students could not have been more excited. The Beautiful cast received the students’ rehearsal with generous applause and attentiveness; they appeared touched by the kids’ performance and perhaps gently triggered to recall their own days as young aspiring artists. Two generations of theatre enthusiasts came together serendipitously and the outcome was, well, Beautiful. Sometimes conflicts can be occasions where magic happens.

Artists may submit works in all mediums 2D, including photography. Works should not exceed 20 inches vertically or horizontally including the frame, if framed. This is Morini Gallery's biggest event of the year, and a wonderful opportunity for artists to share and sell smaller pieces that make for unique holiday gifts.   Because this event is so popular and will be on exhibition through two full theater productions with each production performing multiple shows, along with children's recitals, the art sells quickly.

I could tell you how much I’ve enjoyed watching productions there or how much my children have benefitted from the theatre arts classes through the Academy. But I’m going to take this opportunity to tell you about ME, and what the Mass Arts Center means for ME — a regular adult human who does regular adult human things. The Mass Arts Center is MY place to learn, grow, and create.   We adult humans are constantly in the business of being busy. How swiftly we forget that once upon a time we were in the business of playing!   Learning!   Growing! Pursuing hobbies and interests that fulfill us, and remind us of the truest parts of ourselves! We easily forget that we still need those things in our lives in order to be complete humans. I’m a working mother with a passion for performing — and at the Mass Arts Center I can embrace that! I can do more than just regular adult human things! I can do fun things, meaningful things! I can perform, and sing, and dance, and feel feelings, and express emotions and tell stories, and build a community, and play! I’m so very grateful for the opportunities I’ve found here to pursue theatre arts as a delightful and fulfilling hobby. I’m so very grateful to have found a space to share with others like me who are seeking joy and art.

When the hapless psychic ends up in contact with the spirit of his first husband, Lucien, who makes his presence well known, much to the consternation of his second husband, Richard. Soon his life and home are in a shambles as the ghost haunts Charles and his new spouse. Add their doctor, his husband and a dippy, half-witted house boy to the ingredients of this farce. Director Daniel Kosar adapts the play Coward wrote in 1941 which was set in England. He changes location to Provincetown, MA and makes it a gay fantasia but still celebrates its outrageous attitude toward death with the Noel Coward type humor. It is now set in modern day. Daniel picks seven topnotch performers for these madcap roles and they deliver the laughs in spades all night long. Daniel blocks the show beautifully and obtains strong performances in these roles. Ken Butler designed the gorgeous and ornate set and the beautiful costumes are by Daniel. The lighting design also by Ken Butler and the multitude of props are by Gail Gilman including delicious looking breakfast food. Playing the lead role of Charles Condomine is Joe Rich... --- 2022 Spring Recital Video Download and watch the video from the 2022 Spring Recital from the Mass Arts Center Academy students.

LETTER FROM THE ACADEMY AT MASS ARTS “Arts education is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. ” Michelle Obama Former First Lady, Michelle Obama is a known arts advocate. She well understands that when we engage in the arts, we engage with the world. It is this philosophy on which the Academy at Mass Arts was established. Our courses are process based; we are chiefly interested in the development of each student’s artistic voice. This is why we continually return to the drawing board to design courses that will inspire our diverse population of artists. This summer, The Academy at Mass Arts has an exciting new line-up of programs. Our new curriculum invites performing artists from age 3 to adult to study with our top notch team of teaching artists. Traditional classes in musical theatre performance alongside courses in musical composition, and new programs for toddlers, are sure to make The Academy your one stop shop for all things performing arts. Announced soon will be courses for adults, including workshops in Tai Chi, Mindfulness and Meditation, Acting, and Dance, so be sure to visit our website often to keep pace with our growing list of programs. And of course, if there are any programs you would like to see added to our line-up, please reach out! We would love to hear from you. In the meantime, review our 2022 summer line-up. And remember, partial and full scholarships are available and they are both merit and income based.

Check in at the gate. How are Car tickets working?  The cost of a car ticket is based on the number of people in the car. How do I listen to the show? In your car, tune in on your FM Radio (89. 5) Do I have to have my car running? Well, that is a personal choice. If hot, you may want your AC and having car running will save your battery. You can also listen on a personal portable radio that you bring. Should I bring chairs or supplies with LAWN TICKETS? You may bring your own chairs or use the ones provided on the lawn. We suggest bringing your very own portable radio to tune in the show. We will try to have some also on property. Can we lift our back gate and sit in the back of the car? Those wishing to do so, will be parked along the perimeter so that you will not block the view for others. The issue is for the folks behind you – your lifted gate will block the view for those behind you. Are restrooms available? Our restrooms will be open – YOU MUST wear a mask to enter the building (no exceptions). All patrons will be asked to use hand-sanitizer upon entering. Will there be concessions?

Are you looking to develop your own play? Musical? Short film? Sketch? Perhaps you’re full of ideas and looking for a place to channel them! WELL, I’m very excited to introduce my class in the fall called “Playmaking 101”. This class is all about collaboration and exploration of new stories and new work! Together, we’ll break down the elements of our favourite stories - structure, archetypal characters (i. e. the clown, the king, the orphan), dynamics (climax, denouement), dream sequences, and much more. I’ll provide you with all the tools to develop and workshop your stories or create new ones alongside your classmates. At the end of this class we will have a showcase of what we’ve worked on: whatever that may be. What we do in this class is dependant on who signs up, and our end goal will be based off of what you, the participants, are looking for in order to grow as artists, writers, and original voices.
