Located 25 miles west of Chicago near I-88 and I-355, the McAninch Arts Center (MAC) at College of DuPage is a state-of-the-art facility, housing three performance spaces, an art gallery and classrooms for the college’s academic programming. This unique facility has presented theater, music, dance and visual arts to more than 1.5 million people since its opening in 1986 and last year welcomed more than 75,000 patrons from the greater Chicago area to more than 230 performances.
The Arts Center, which opened in 1986, is home to five resident professional ensembles but attracts big-name concert performers and theatrical productions as well.
There are periodic special shows geared toward children, including the popular “Kid Jazz,” and a group of College of DuPage thespians puts on cute adaptations of children’s stories outdoors in the courtyard during summer.
