The gala will take place on October 23.
MPAC's best fundraiser of the year has gone virtual. The 22nd annual (virtual) Starlight Ball will take place over Zoom on Friday, October 23 at 6 pm.
Tickets, which include the ability to participate in a Silent Auction, pre-event kickoff and post-event VIP DJ Dance Party Zoom are $150. Proceeds from the event will support MPAC's critical needs now and going forward as it continues to serve the community with outstanding arts events and education programs. Tickets can be purchased at MayoArts.Org. The Starlight Ball, dubbed "What the World Needs Now," will feature a special guest appearance and performance by Kristin Chenoweth, students from MPAC's Performing Arts School and Performing Arts Company, and other surprises. "We have all been enriched by having MPAC in our lives," said Marylyn McLaughlin, Starlight Ball co-chair. "What the world needs now is for all of us to not give up and to support and save the institutions that are dear to our community." "During difficult times, the arts are more important than ever before," adds co-chair Lisa Wallburg. "MPAC has given us so many great memories. We need to work together and support MPAC so we can continue to enjoy live events and teach the children the joy of music and creativity."Videos
