An MPACT-ful Venue!

Maplestreet Performing Arts Center &Theater houses a large stage measuring 20x25 ft, with an audience capacity of up to 100 people. The spacious stage and high ceilings can accommodate a large dance team with flags and pageantry, and can also be transformed into an intimate solo or small group performance space with the use of our stage backdrops.
The movable audience chairs can also be repositioned for a variety of presentation set ups.
MPACT Venue Rental includes:
stage with lighting and sound system; dressing room & "green room" with small private bathroom; ticket booth with additional merchandise table; concession stand; backstage entrance & parking to load and unload equipment, a public restroom and public parking.
Our large 12X10ft Movie Screen is available for multi-media performance work and film screenings, as well as for hosting a "Movie Night."
Whether you are serving snacks and sodas, or setting up a dessert bar, our attractive Concessions Stand provides a 10 ft counter, space for a cooler and plenty of cabinets for storage. Its audience-friendly location can also serve as a merchandise counter.
(We regret that MPACT is not conducive for hot food service or dinner events. Our family-friendly atmosphere is also not conducive for serving hard liquor or excessive alcohol.)
MPACT was honored to serve as one of the statewide venues for FUNDA FEST 25 and 26!!
