The Show Must Go On
As we continue to navigate our way through these unprecedented times, we also continue to be moved and inspired by the generosity of the Mass Arts Center community of patrons, members, and students. While so many things remain uncertain right now, what remains clear is that your Mass Arts Center support makes a big impact.
Your Mass Arts Center family is reaching out to you, now, during our Annual Campaign asking you to please make a generous donation to support the programs and organization you love.
Like many theaters throughout our nation, COVID has dramatically affected Mass Arts Center ticket sales. When COVID was peaking, the Mass Arts Center worked to bridge the gap by safely offering drive-in events such as concerts and outdoor stand-up comedy. Our outdoor shows continue to today, with a large tent overlooking the reservoir for the summer. Additionally, our Mass Arts Center Academy has been busy with classes. Most were held virtually during the height of the pandemic and are now back in person in our newly renovated studio. Though we are getting back on track, we have a long way to go to meet our financial needs. More programs are in the works that will include streaming performances and small in-person events.
The Mass Arts Center needs your help to bridge this gap of time in history. Now, more than ever – the Mass Arts Center needs you to sustain and support our operations and mission.
Help us keep the local arts alive. With your support, the Mass Arts Center can keep the arts alive and enrich lives of so many families in our community. Please make a donation today.
The show must go on and WILL go on because of you and your support.
