The Minnesota Association of Community Theatres is a statewide volunteer run organization which holds meetings, workshops, festivals and other events throughout the state of Minnesota.

MACT Fest 2015 is a GREAT opportunity to get to know other theatres, get ideas for your season by seeing lots of shows, participate in workshops and meet lots of other theatre enthusiasts. It will definitely be "Something To Crow About in Corn Country".
