The thing about community spaces for the arts is that there isn't nearly enough funding to support them. The thing about buildings is that they require a lot of maintenance. The Multi-use Community Cultural Center has been a boon for indie and emerging theater groups, variety shows, and performances of all sorts, since it debuted in 2009 and now it needs your help raising funds for much-needed repairs and improvements.
Show your love on Saturday, November 17, at 8 p.m., by attending "A Benefit Show for MuCCC's Benefit, Benefitting MuCCC." The event will showcase an ensemble cast of seven actors in a witty revue featuring original humorous shorts and theater classics with a twist, singing, dancing, and tributes to giants of the theatrical and literary worlds, including Shakespeare, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, and Alan Jay Lerner.
MuCCC is located at 142 Atlantic Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. for a reception, silent auctions, and raffles. Tickets are $10, $15 per couple in advance, of $15 each at the door. For more information, email info@muccc.org or visit muccc.org.
