Tuesdays at 7pm, all are invited to the Open Mic at THE COMEDY LINK Laugh Club to tell a joke, share a funny story, work out your tight ten-minute standup, or just come for the laughs. There are improv and word games to tickle the funny bone. Don't be shy, no drama, just fun.

The first Wednesday of each month, THE FILM LINK Cinema is the spot for the MIDWEEK MOVIE MINGLE. Get together to view and talk about short films, videos, machinima, trailers, etc. It's an open mic for moving image makers, since submissions are encouraged.

MULTI MEDIA ARTS CENTER TURNS EIGHTEEN

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  –  Entertainment&Arts VirtualWorlds

MULTI MEDIA ARTS CENTER TURNS EIGHTEEN

April 7, 2025 marks eighteen years since the 2007 grand opening of the MULTI MEDIA ARTS CENTER. Popularly known as “TheMMAC”, the poly venue complex has been a destination in Second Life.

Created as a model for and later an extension of the real life brick and mortar facility opened by career impresario Chuck Brownley (Dash) in 2008 www.TheMMAC.com, the virtual venue initially featured events from the RL stages exclusively streamed into SL for global audiences. Even beyond the untimely closing of the RL theater, TheMMAC SL continued to feature live in world events thru 2013. 

Over the subsequent decade because of increasingly busier film production work in real life www.imdb.com/name/nm2549849/, Chuck's in world activities were limited to just doing weekly DJ sets 'Slow Jams For A Saturday Night' and the long running 'Funk Fridays!' originally established in RL in the late 80's. www.FunkFridays.com

Surprised by a brutal hack early last summer, where the four sim build was deleted, some land sold off, lindens stolen, group tags changed to racist tropes,... along with help from the Lindens and the decision to pull away from on location film production allowing the time, Dash embarked on a restoration renovation and remodeling campaign which has spawned the revival of activities @TheMMAC!

Live entertainment is back; music, stage shows, spoken word, live DJ sets... Video on demand of exclusive content...  Visual arts being better served with the opening of the MMAC Gallery and the renovation of the Terrace Sculpture Garden. Moving images; film shorts, machinima, videos, trailers are regularly showcased on two screens. Dancing for various moods 24/7... An Arcade... Lounges to just hang... 

A commemorative line up of special events in April, “TheMMAC 18 Fete” will be announced later this month.
