The MAC Theater announces two new dates for its outdoor play, Good People, written by David Lindsay-Abaire and directed by Jacob Sherburne. Last Sunday’s play was canceled due to rain, so the MAC has added Friday, August 21 at 4:00 pm and a second Saturday performance, a matinee, on Saturday, August 22 at 12:00 pm.
Tickets are just $15 for this special event. Attendees should bring their own chairs and/or picnic blankets and should indicate the number of people in a party when registering for the event. No more than six people are allowed in a group. The MAC will space groups according to state safety guidelines. All attendees must follow best practice safety measures including mask-wearing and social distancing. Guests should wear masks when not seated and/or if adequate distance from others cannot be maintained. Guests should arrive no later than 3:45 to find their seats. NO ALCOHOL will be permitted during the event on town property. Guests may bring their own refreshments, and there will be some sealed, pre-packaged items available on site. To purchase tickets, please visit marionartcenter.org/events/good-people. Call or email the Marion Art Center with questions. Tickets are limited for this production.
