While most of the kids don’t enter the entertainment world, Kirchdoerffer noted that they will gain valuable skills that will help them succeed in life.
Everyone’s so encouraging of everyone else.” They really get a full immersive experience. “It’s placed on being part of a team, being part of the creative process. “The emphasis isn’t placed on being a star,” Kirchdoerffer explained. Students ages five to 18 come from all over Northern New Jersey to learn performance technique while building confidence and having a great time.Ĭlasses are offered in musical theatre, acting, singing technique, song presentation, improvisation, private voice and adult cabaret. It also offers a Performing Arts School (PAS), founded in 2006, which now serves approximately 700 students per year with over 20 classes a week within a supportive and creative atmosphere. However, MPAC is more than a concert hall for some of today’s greatest acts. Kirchdoerffer said some of the ways MPAC will be celebrating its 25 years in Morristown are by holding a few free concerts, ask its performance-goers, on social media, to name their favorite moments since its opening, and have a number of $25 ticket offers, to name a few. “We constantly challenge ourselves to grow and invest in ourselves to make the best possible events.” “We feel we’re still in a growth cycle,” Kirchdoerffer said. Musical performers such as America, Kenny G, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Ruben Studdard will be hitting the stage in October.
Moreover, MPAC doesn’t have any plans of slowing down any time soon. Top musical and comedic acts have performed at MPAC over the years, from Foreigner and Daughtry to Melissa Ethridge and Wayne Brady, and every great entertainer in between. “We feel the opening of the performing arts center was part of the rebuilding of Morristown.
“Twenty-five years ago, Morristown wasn’t the popular town it is now,” Kirchdoerffer, a Morristown native, said. MPAC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been at the center of Morristown’s revitalization and is a major reason why it’s a nightlife hotspot today, with several wonderful bars and restaurants lining its lively streets since its inception, according to General Manager Ed Kirchdoerffer. On September 13th, the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) kicked off its 25th anniversary with a fabulous concert by singer/actress and American Idol finalist Katherine McPhee.
