In addition to drive in concerts, MPAC will continue to present indoor concerts at a current limited capacity of 150 patrons. All events are posted on www.MayoArts.org. Additional events will be scheduled and announced shortly.
MPAC’s popular Trivia Nights, held on the MPAC plaza in front of the theatre, will return beginning Thursday, April 29 and run every other week through the end of June.
