A story of love from a Long Island town.
The idea for a Christ-Centered community theater in Grand Rapids began when Pris McDonald was working at a local Christian university in 1984. She and others realized that there were few options for students to continue practicing their dramatic arts after graduation. They decided to start with a simple touring Christmas show called “Emmanuel.” It was a hit, and the following year, in 1985, Master Arts Theatre was officially established.
