The Mayo Performing Arts Center (MayoPAC) is a nonprofit multi-use performing arts center located in Morristown, New Jersey, United States.[1]

History[edit]

Entrance of the MPAC

The Community Theatre was built in 1937 and was once the crown jewel of Walter Reade's chain of movie theatres in New Jersey, opening on December 23, 1937, with the David O. Selznick film, Nothing Sacred. By the 1980s, the Theatre had fallen into disrepair and sat idle for nearly a decade.[2]

In 1994, the Theatre reopened as a performing arts center with a gala performance featuring the Kirov Orchestra and pianist Alexander Slobodyanik.

In 2007, major renovations including the installation of an air conditioner enabled the venue to be open year round. A Liza Minnelli performance celebrated the reopening.[3]

The upstairs balcony was renovated in 2011, with new restrooms, Art Gallery space and concessions.

In May 2011, the Theatre officially changed its name to Mayo Performing Arts Center, completing a three-year transition, honoring the leadership of Bud Mayo.[4]
