Tech Workshop Campaign

Now that the new seats are in, which we can’t wait to show you, it’s time for another upgrade.

We are so proud to announce that a brand new Technical Workshop is in development, has received approval by the local authorities, and will be ready for our team to work in this season!

This has been a long time coming and we are so delighted to be able to provide this facility for our extremely hard working Technicians. This much-needed upgrade will provide a safer and more expansive work environment for our team to conceptualize, build and dress the set and design elements that appear on our stage. It also gives us some much needed additional storage space for the sets while they are under construction.

Given the massive contribution this department makes to the quality of our work, we wanted to give you the opportunity to show your appreciation by contributing to the completion of this new facility. Believe us when we tell you, Technical Director Kevin Gleason and his team will appreciate it!

If you have ever seen a show at the Mac-Haydn, you have seen the incredible contribution our tech team makes. If you have ever worked at the Mac-Haydn, you know just how important this Technical Workshop is and how it will help make our team more effective.

Contribute in any way that you can to our Tech Workshop Campaign and know that you played a part in maintaining the ongoing upward trajectory of the work at the Mac-Haydn Theatre.

Thanks For Your Support

Thank you once again for your tremendous support.

For 51 seasons, the Mac-Haydn has presented full summers of top-notch musical theatre and beyond the COVID-19 crises, we plan to keep on doing just that! This crises has certainly created a huge challenge for us but we can’t thank you enough for answering the call in our darkest our. We simply couldn’t do it without you, both as an audience member, and now more than ever, as a contributor.

Our 2020 season was going to be a platform for us to present a bold vision for the future of our organization. We will not set that aside and are working tirelessly to keep that vision alive.

Thank you again for your loyal support and we hope you will stay connected with us through the remainder of this uncertain time.
