What makes our performing arts center so special is that it brings us together as a community to share the collective excitement of live theatre. We are thrilled to be able to be that community gathering place again. The COVID pandemic has truly tested the resolve of our theatre.

MPAC has practiced stringent health guidelines since first reopening in October 2020 and we will continue to do everything within our ability to make our venue safe for our patrons, performers, volunteers and staff. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in following these guidelines as we reopen safely. Since 1937 this extraordinary theatre has celebrated good times and risen above dark periods, but only with the help of an incredible community. As a nonprofit theatre, we are profoundly grateful for the generosity of our patrons and supporters. Your contributions have been vital to our survival.

A WELCOME FROM OUR BOARD CHAIRMAN Thank you for returning to MPAC. We know for many of you it’s been a while, and we’ve missed you. I’ve been pleased and impressed by how much MPAC has been able to deliver through the course of the pandemic, keeping the arts alive and engaging our patrons when their spirits have needed uplifting the most. I’m grateful to our dedicated members who have stood with us, giving because they believe our mission is more vital than ever. MPAC is thankful for the support of all of the individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies that have helped to sustain us through the pandemic. Whether it was a large gift or a few dollars added to a ticket purchase, every contributed dollar is appreciated. It means so much to us to know how much you value MPAC. While our situation has certainly improved since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, COVID remains unpredictable and we continue to face an uncertain future. It will take two to three years for MPAC to fully recover from the pandemic, and that’s provided there are no more downturns. We hope that you will support MPAC as we move ahead with our programs, bring in star-studded concerts, expand our educational offerings and develop diverse community-based arts programs. Pandemic or not, MPAC will be the leader in our arts community now and into the future. No doubt, this has been a very tough period in our history. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, and your support will help to make that light shine brighter. Please give from your heart, we need your support more than ever. Thank you. Please stay safe and I look forward to seeing you at MPAC. Sincerely, Gregory J. Supron Chairman, Board of Trustees

Combining traditional dance and music with the most up to date stage technology, this two-hour dance and music extravaganza takes the audiences on an exhilarating and exciting, energypacked time trip through the ages.

conversion to Christianity, the new priests adopted the pagan style of art in creating their beautiful manuscripts, and the peasants kept the pagan style of music and dancing. The circle dances of today began after the Anglo-Norman conquest in the twelfth century. The Carol was a popular Norman dance where the leader sang and a circle of dancers replied with the same song.
Three Irish dances are often referenced from the sixteenth century: the Irish Hey, the Rinnce Fada and the Trenchmore. One of the first mentions to dance was in a letter written to Queen Elizabeth I in 1569 in which the dancers were described as being very Origins of the Show beautiful and magnificently dressed first From the creation of Rhythm of the Dance class dancers. in 1998 (initially the show was set up for a 3 week tour of the United States) it has toured During the mid-sixteenth century, dancers consistently internationally and is achieving performed in the great halls of newly built greater critical acclaim year after year.

Producer Kieran Cavanagh is very excited about the updated format of the show, he hopes that Rhythm of the Dance will be a breathe of fresh air into Irish dance with this traditionally rooted and authentic production.
Each master had his own style, so several versions of the same dance would be found in different areas of Ireland. Over the centuries, Irish dances were modified into the jigs, reels, hornpipes, sets, half sets and polkas performed today. Solo dancing, or step dancing, first appeared at the end of the eighteenth century.
The History of Irish Step Dance There are vague references to the early history of Irish dancing but evidence shows that its first participants were the Druids. They danced in religious rituals honoring their pagan gods. Around 400 A.D., after the

The lovely, lilting sound of the Irish fiddle is synonymous with Irish music. The term ‘fiddle’ may refer to any bowed string musical instrument, most often the violin, while ‘fiddle playing’, or ‘fiddling,’ refers to the style of music playing which is generally louder and more rhythmic than traditional classical violin. Fiddles are generally strung in a different way to a classical violin, in order to capture a uniquely Celtic sound. The fiddle emerged
The National Dance Company of Ireland: Rhythm of the Dance in 10th-century Europe, deriving from the Byzantine era. By the 11th or 12th century the bow had been introduced to Ireland and, upon arrival in the Emerald Isle there was a rapid evolution, as the lyres were adapted for bowing. As early as these middle ages Ireland was fast gathering an international reputation for the quality of its musicians. For centuries, Irish fiddles have been a powerful part of the cultural tradition of Ireland and are of the most important instruments in the traditional repertoire. By the early 19th century, certain modifications and improvements to the fiddle were in place…chin rests for comfort appeared around 1820, and the range of the instrument was increased by the creation of a longer fingerboard. In the early 20th century, Irish families and friends would gather in the country, often at crossroads, and practice Irish fiddling in a group. Get-togethers at houses and pubs were also very common the instrument became a way of uniting the Irish people through traditional folk music.
newly crafted Irish flutes still had six finger holes, but now only a few or no keys as there are few sharps or flats in traditional folk music. Irish flutes are also traditionally used in bands made up of only flutes and drums. Flutes of three to seven different sizes (and ranges) are used together. The center of this band activity is Northern Ireland. Today, Irish flutes are made from woods such as grenadilla, boxwood, or bamboo, or polymer. They can cost anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars / euro to several thousand. Irish Harp While its earliest origins are lost, the Irish harp has a certain history dating back at least 1000 years. Brian Boru, the last High King of Ireland (d 1014), is said to have been an accomplished player. At this time, the Gaelic harp was revered in Celtic culture (and all over Europe). It was commonplace for Irish kings and chieftains to have their own resident harper. When The English monarch Henry VIII declared himself King of Ireland in 1531, such was the fame and prestige of the Irish Harp that it was chosen as the official national symbol of Ireland and used on the coinage of the time. As the Celtic social order waned, the Gaelic harp became an emblem of resistence to the Crown and England. As such, it was banned at the end of the medieval period and the old Celtic harp tradition began to die out. By the 19th century, the Irish harp was practically extinct.
Modern musicians remain intrigued by the traditional folk melodies and techniques of the past and contemporary Irish musicians use the fiddle to add traditional elements to a variety of styles, including pop and rock. The fiddle is considered the oldest traditional Irish instrument of all. Irish fiddle playing today has never been more vigorous, whether at a professional or amateur level, with an extremely high standard of playing and a strong demand for the music both in Ireland In 1792 a group of traditional harpers and elsewhere. assembled in Belfast for a traditional harp Irish Flute & Low Whistle festival where the musician and folk music The wooden instrument known today as the collector, Edward Bunting wrote down the Irish flute was actually not developed for that music they played and the terminology of the kind of music.

These were sold cheap to traditional musicians who used them to play traditional Irish music. Soon a few instrument makers began duplicating the earlier wooden flutes for folk players. The
The traditional Irish harp’s distinguishing features are its use of wire (usually brass) strings and its resonating chamber carved from a single log (traditionally willow). The highly tensioned strings are played with fingernails, producing a very clear sound.
