Since 2009, we have tried to make a "mpac" in the Maplewood Community of Rochester, NY, via the social and economic development properties of the Arts; providing a voice to the voiceless and varying degrees of entertainment not currently offered in the Maplewood area.

Our Mission

Maplewood Performing Arts Centre (MPAC) is the umbrella organization in Rochester, NY providing voice to those in the community through art! We facilitate a number of offerings to the Greater Rochester community through an African American repertory company, an applied theatre company, educational outreach, and media company.  Maplewood Performing Arts Centre is committed to making an "mpactoday" by creating theatrical arts both "for" and "with" the community!
