The Sixth Act welcomes any students, faculty, staff, or visitors who are interested in coming to these events. Furthermore, we encourage faculty members to integrate them into the syllabi of relevant courses. For more information, contact Alice Wilson (x2304 or "mailto:awilson@monroecc.edu")
Formed in 2004, The Sixth Act provides co-curricular support for the study of drama across disciplines at MCC. To this end, The Sixth Act (1) develops co-curricular events and materials for MCC faculty and students, especially those who might teach or study plays or playwriting, and (2) provides enrichment opportunities to encourage all MCC faculty, students, and staff to see and talk about plays produced at MCC and in the Rochester area. The Sixth Act seeks as its leaders faculty, staff, and students drawn from a variety of academic disciplines and departments. The Sixth Act is supported by MCC's Creative Arts Committee and Liberal Arts Program.
