Performing Arts Committee

We can sing. We can dance. We can make you disappear! Okay, so maybe just the artist's do those things. MPAC's Performing Arts Committee bring to campus everything from actors to musicians, comedians to magicians, and anything else in between. We book national touring acts, as well as local and regional talents. Stay classy U of M.

By sponsoring locally and nationally recognized talent, the Performing Arts Committee provides a broad spectrum of entertainment for the University community. Previous Performing Arts events include the Noon Time Concert Series, Open Mic Night(s) and Saturday Night Live comedians Jimmy Fallon and Colin Quinn.
