Great people serving the special needs community of North Alabama.

Wonderful place for dance recitals and performances. Small but quaint.

Great venue to see small local shows. I got to see a dance performance here. Only 4 stars because they seemed to have lighting and sound issues. Not sure if these were house people or folks from the dance company. Seating was comfortable. Parking can be an issue.

A shining star in north Alabama. Philanthropists Allan and Debra Jenkins had a vision to transform a boarded up building in a neglected part of town into a performing arts center to rejuvenate the area. They used their own time, energy and finances to renovate the building and opened to the public in 2007.After several years, Mrs. Jenkins, through a series of occurrences, realized that local children and adults with special needs can rarely, if ever, take performance art classes. My daughter, for example, tried a local performance art studio but didnt fit in because she wasnt intellectually on par with the others. The Jenkins ended up starting a day program for adults with special needs and an after school program for children with special needs. My daughter enjoys it so much that her acting classes are the highlight of her week.The program is 5 stars -- the participants all love it and theres simply nothing else like it around. Special needs kids and adults have such pure hearts and are accepting of one another as they are. If only the rest of the world can be that way! The productions are top-notch and the facility itself superb, complete with a 300-seat theater and state-of-the-art technology, such as closed captioning above the stage.Shows are open to the public, too; its not just for participants family and friends. In addition to the special needs productions, they have special concerts and events throughout the year... even Billy Bob Thornton, who is a supporter of Merrimack.

They have great shows in a small venue. Wish theyd do more shows. Does a wonderful job bring dance to special needs children and adults.

Merrimack goes above and beyond to assist the needs of our Adult community of disabled adults to provide an arts education program that is inclusive and not based on an IQ or waiver certificate. Thank you!!

Need someone to direct traffic while crossing the street its dangerous for the children especially, people speeding down that road

I got there and they were closed as they should have been, so its ok. No harm done.

Such an awesome place for special needs people to be included in the celebration of the arts

It is awesome.I love it

There are no words to describe how amazing this place is! Truly a special opportunity for those in the Huntsville community with special needs and their families. So thankful our daughter is in the dance rogram

Great venue. Perfect for performing arts!

Parking during events is a nightmare.

My daughter attended her first dance class at this studio last week and she loved it.

Wonderful experience for both participants and audience alike

Merrimack Hall is an incredible opportunity for people with disabilities to participate in performing arts! Support Merrimack Hall!
