Please consider a donation to Magnolia Arts Center. Producing a theater season is costly since the royalties for each show must be paid in full before we advertise or promote the show. The royalty total for the 2025 season is approximately $13,000. Maintaining the building continues to present financial challenges. We currently need to repair a leaky roof and update the sinks in the concession area and dressing room. MAC’s electric bill runs about $800-$900 monthly.
