Mansfield Music & Arts Society Black Box Theatre

Type) All-Purpose
Level) Community



1)Past Productions include 2th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Tea & Sympathy, Love Rides the Rails, Man of LaMancha, Streetcar Named Desire.
2a) These shows show off how a black box can be changed into many different formations and can be used to put on many different kinds of shows from small musicals, to even heavy dramas.
2b)You can see how the audience formation is always set up in different formations to best suit the production that is being performed. I am surprised to see how elaborate some of the sets are for these productions.

3a)There mission foster the arts in Massachusetts seems to be met because they are putting on well known plays and musicals. They seem to take all sorts of different actors of ages and types which is great for a community theatre to do.
3b)These productions seems to fit the mission. These shows all are very different and allows actors to gain experience performing all different kinds of shows and allows people of the area to be exposed to theatre.
4) Community Theaters are a great place for anyone to be exposed to theater. I think having a black box is a great idea because it is easier to put up smaller, low budget sets. It also allows actors to gain experience with smaller audiences and be able to grow as actors. This space is also used for many concerts and showcases many different arts festivals.
