| Exciting activities take
place on a year-round basis at the Rancho’s New Mission Theater (NMT), a
150-seat live theater with beautifully-landscaped surroundings. The NMT is a
multi-purpose facility hosting art exhibits (curated by Historian Paul
Dentzel); dance and musical concerts; theatrical productions; school field
trips; workshops; conferences; rehearsals; receptions; company picnics; fund
raising events, and more. In addition to a wonderful indoor space, it boasts
expansive covered patios and lawns.
The New Mission
Theater is operated by the MultiCultural Music and Art Foundation of Northridge
(MCMAFN), a tax-exempt organization that is dedicated to music and art
education and the promotion of the performing and visual arts.
For 10 years, MCMAFN
has been at the forefront of creating a better understanding and appreciation
of the arts, uplifting the cultural environment in the San Fernando Valley.
From the beginning, we have pursued this goal by conducting and sponsoring
unique and dynamic exhibits and performances.
MCMAFN’s
Founder and Creative Director is internationally-known American
Composer/Conductor/Violinist Elisabeth Waldo. Often, attendees are treated to
special concerts featuring her extensive repertoire of Indigenous Music
performed “live” by guest performers.
We hope to see you at
an upcoming event. See for yourself why the Rancho is called "the
Valley’s best-kept secret!”
