MPAC as a Classroom for the ANC Secondary Schools
Mitchell Performing Arts Center serves as the theater and performing arts workspace for the Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools. Since being donated to ANC Secondary Schools (and Bryn Athyn College) after it's renovation, MPAC has become an integral facility for student learning at ANC Secondary Schools.
MPAC provides space and facilities for students to develop skills such as theatrical lighting, set design, and acting technique. And through working together to put on plays, dance concerts, musicals, choral recitals, and art exhibits, students learn the even more valuable skills of hard work, teamwork, and artistic expression.
