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!
