PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

MCC

We strive to cultivate opportunities and experiences that deepen our connection to the works on stage and with each other. We welcome communities from all across New York City and beyond. A visit to MCC goes beyond taking in a show. Community members are invited to continue to explore, expand, and grow through our discussions, creative workshops, and community-building events.

Join us for our post-show TALKBACKS with artists and AUDIENCES CONVERSATIONS moderated by MCC staff after select performances and for FORUM DISCUSSIONS and events aimed at provoking conversation.

FORUMS & COMMUNITY EVENTS

Our forum discussions bring together guest experts, community leaders, and peers to explore important issues relevant to our times or raised in our work. Forums and Community Events are free and open to the public, regardless of whether or not you have seen a performance.

AUDIENCE CONVERSATIONS

If you crave theater that demands your attention and continues to stir up conversations long after the performance has ended, you’re not alone. Audience Conversations take place directly after select shows and are moderated by the MCC Talkback team. They provide the space for people to come together to discuss, share, and unpack their experiences with our work.

TALKBACKS

Post-show Talkbacks launch you into a lively exchange of ideas with the artists, creative teams, and cast members who bring our productions to life. Ask a question or sit back and take in the moderated discussion. Together, we will dive deeper into the work with exclusive behind-the-scenes discussions with the artists who made it. Check out the show schedule to find out when our Cast Talkback and our Playwright and Director Talkbacks will take place.
