WHAT ARE THE MAC AWARDS AND WHY?
Originally, MAC Awards were simply given by the Board of Directors to whoever they felt had made a contribution to live entertainment—be it a business person, local performer, dedicated critic or cabaret luminary.
Over the last 20 years, as the membership and club roster grew, the Awards process underwent many changes and it continues to evolve. (Further Awards information and the criteria to be met to be eligible for a MAC Award can be found on the web site.)
The MAC Award is given to celebrate excellence in a particular category achieved during a calendar year. It has increased in stature as the organization has evolved. Because there are so few opportunities to acknowledge the thousands of artists who make up live performance nightlife in NYC, the MAC Awards are important to the entertainment community. The annual Awards Show provides a forum in which to shine a public spotlight on up and coming, locally established and nationally recognized cabaret, comedy and jazz performers, as well as behind the lights professionals.
