Mayo Performing Arts Center is a renovated movie house, built in the 1930s as a part of the Walter Reade Theatre chain and transformed in 1994 into the Morristown Community Theater. Since then, MPAC has expanded exponentially with three major capital expansions made possible by the generous support of individual donors, foundations, and corporations.
As it has read on the Theater façade since it was built, we are the “Community Theater” and always will be. We belong to you. You can be a steward of our historic venue by considering the following contribution opportunities that support our ongoing capital improvements.
If you would like more information on MPAC’s various naming opportunities, please call Marysue DePaola, Development Director, at 973-539-0345, extension 6503, or send an email request by clicking here.
Your Seat in the Spotlight
Take “your seat in the spotlight,” and have your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or memorialize engraved on a plaque located on the armrest of a theater seat. Celebrate someone’s birthday, anniversary, or remember a loved one in this unique way, and we will acknowledge your gift to the recipient of your choice.
Price List:
Gold – $2,500 (orchestra seats GCA through T)
Silver – $1,500 (Orchestra seats U through HH, Balcony seats A through E)
Bronze – $500 (Balcony seats F through K)
Plaques are engraved metal and may include up to three lines of up to 15 characters each line, including spaces and punctuation.
Seat naming does not mean that you have that seat for events. Seat sponsors must still purchase tickets to theater events and are not guaranteed seating in chairs that bear their name.
Pavers and Bricks
Inscribe a brick or paver around the outside of Mayo Performing Arts Center and help “pave the way” to a beautiful theater façade. Also used to support capital needs, your gift will leave a lasting impression by becoming a permanent part of MPAC.
Main Plaza Pavers (30” x 30”) $50,000
Box office Patio Pavers (15” x 15”) $25,000
Starlight Walkway Bricks (12” x 10”) $10,000
