The 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. The Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) has become one of New Jersey’s preeminent arts and cultural organizations and now hosts more than 200 performances to more than 200,000 patrons every year. MPAC's economic impact on the region is in excess of $15 million annually. An arts education program launched in 2005 has grown to be a core component of our organization. The MPAC Performing Arts School serves over 650 children annually with classes in musical theatre, vocal performance and more. In January 2017 we launched classes based on the methodology of The Miracle Project, a fully inclusive music and theatre program for children on the autism spectrum. In July 2016, the Theatre earned the distinction of Outstanding Historic Theatre by the League of Historic American Theatres for our historical and continuing impact on our community.
