Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music and then got together to become their idols – The Four Freshman, The Hi-Lo's and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins....
Forever Plaid is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
Farewell to "The Explorers Club"!
Farewell to "The Explorers Club" and thank you to all of our amazing audiences that came and laughed from London all the way to Phahatlabong! This truly was a remarkable production and hearing our audiences laugh was especially satisfying.
It’s Give to the MACT Time!
It's time for MACT's annual fundraising drive, "Give to the MACT". The first $760 in donations will be matched by funds provided by current and former MACT Board Members. This campaign ends Thursday, November 21st. After that any unused matching dollars go away.
This year, MACT's Board has designated the funds raised by our Give to the MACT campaign to help offset some of the costs associated with bringing a show to MACT*Fest '25.
It costs theatres a considerable amount of money to participate in a festival. There are the normal costs, like royalties, scripts, sets, costumes and props, associated with putting on a show. But for festivals, there are additional costs like registrations fees, travel costs, hotels and meals. Gifts from people like you, along with the matching dollars, will help cover some of the costs of presenting a show at MACT*Fest '25.
Remember, donations made between now and November 21st (up to the first $760) will be matched, so your gift will have double the impact for MACT*Fest presenting theatres.
Please consider making a donation to Give to the MACT now, before the matching dollars expire!
