The MANHATTAN ASSOCIATION OF CABARETS & CLUBS (MAC) was founded in 1983, as an organization of business people in the cabaret industry, comprising club owners, booking agents, managers, journalists & publicists. Its original intent was "to heighten the public's awareness of cabaret as an art form," & to unify & empower the various cabarets around NYC. MAC's purpose was primarily about improving the climate in which the business of owning & running those clubs was conducted & to serve as an advocate for those in the cabaret business. MAC is a trade organization, classified as not-for-profit, operating under a 501(c)6, with a dues-paying membership. Membership applications will be available at the Seminar.
