MPAC as a Classroom for Bryn Athyn College
Mitchell Performing Arts Center is a highly valued facility of Bryn Athyn College. Mimi Mitchell, a long-time supporter of the performing arts, donated the building to Bryn Athyn College (and the Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools across the road) so that it could enrich students' experiences of higher education.
Bryn Athyn College uses MPAC for acting classes, lectures, internships, an annual theatrical production, and as a workspace for all aspects of performing arts education.
Exploring the technical and performance aspects of theater teaches Bryn Athyn College students many other skills as well — skills such as time management, teamwork, cultural appreciation, and how art can positively impact the lives of an audience.
