The Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, which is currently presenting shows at limited capacity as well as drive-in concerts at Fosterfields Living Historical Farms, has announced its full-capacity, indoor 2021-22 season, which will officially begin with an “Opening Night” concert on Sept. 17 by Linda Eder. Many of the tickets will go on sale June 4 at 10 a.m. at mayoarts.org.
“This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for,” said MPAC president and CEO Allison Larena, in a press release.
Some shows are postponed from 2020, and/or previously announced. Here is the theater’s current schedule, including limited-capacity and drive-in shows. Asterisks (*) denote shows going on sale June 4; number signs (#) denote shows for which tickets are already on sale. The limited-capacity shows may increase capacity, depending on changes in governmental guidelines. And more shows, of course, will undoubtedly be added to the ’21-22 season.
