New Play Series
Merrill Arts Center is proud to have partnered with celebrated Minnesota playwright Kiernon James to launch the Page to Stage New play Series. The first season, MAC will offer two free staged readings, one in the fall and one in the spring. Audience members and participating artists will be invited to vote for which play will be produced in the fall of 2024. Starting with the 2024-25 season, one new play will be produced in the black box each fall and new play readings will be staged in the spring.
