About the Series
The Media Arts Council (MAC) Play Reading Series was created by playwrights Julie Zaffarano, Dave Ebersole, and Keenya Jackson, in partnership with the MAC to create a space for local playwrights to hear their work read by talented actors and receive feedback from a public audience. The only regular new play reading series in in the area, it brings exciting new stories to Delaware County.
Playwrights, actors, and directors who are interested in being involved in the series should contact Dave Ebersole at daveebersole25@gmail.com, Keenya Jackson at keenyajackson@gmail.com, or Julie Zaffarano at juliezaffarano.gmail.com. Due to the limited budget for this project, we are unable to offer actors or directors a stipend through the MAC.

Supporting local artists
Media Arts Council (MAC)
Media Fellowship House is thrilled to host Media Arts Council (MAC) programming in our space after their move from their State Street location in August 2024. Please check out the other great programming MAC offers!
The mission of the Media Arts Council is to actively support local artists and integrate a wide range of arts into the life of the entire community. MAC achieves this mission by providing professional artists with opportunities to exhibit, sell, and/or perform, infusing Media with public art installations, providing arts education classes, and offering community arts events.
