This is my 6th class trip to MPAC and each year I am AMAZED by how smooth the experience is.

As a 27 year teacher, I still am a nervous wreck taking my class out of the building. You and your program make this the best experience. From my first email with you, the process couldn’t be easier. Arriving to people outside checking us in and walking us to our seats as well as, calling schools to leave in such an organized manner, all my nerves subside. The play topic and amazing actors know how to reach the audience of all ages.

I absolutely love my experience with you and MPAC each year and am so thankful for such a wonderful experience for my students. We will be back for as many years as I am teaching!

The Musical! is sure to get everyone’s wings...

Busses will be able to pull up in front of the theater on South Street to embark and disembark. The bus drivers will then be given a number and sent to our designated bus parking lot. They will then be called back for pick up and embarkation after the performance has ended. 

We do not have a dining or picnic area on the premises. We are next door to the Vail Mansion which has a large lawn and reflecting pool and a block and a half away from the Morristown Green which is a popular place for locals to picnic at lunchtime.  Other than these weather dependent options, we recommend using any of our local restaurants (group size permitting) or eating your lunch while traveling on your school bus.
