All of our students are near and dear to our hearts, but Excellent Elizabeth goes way back with MCPA 🪄🎩🐰

"My first public performance was in the lobby of MCPA during Art Walk when I was just 9 years old. I had a great time and got lots of positive feedback! I was then asked to be an opening act for the pre-show of The Amazing Max magic show. Max and his wife Christine became good friends, and he mentored me via Zoom during Covid. Because of the great start at MCPA I was able to perform in Orlando and in Las Vegas. I'm getting ready to apply to colleges and my magic career will help me to stand out! Thank you for giving me a great start!"

-Elizabeth "Excellent Elizabeth" Nauert, That Magic Girl

On World Kindness Day, we're reminded of the power of compassion and community—the same values that shine through in Come From Away. This extraordinary musical tells the true story of 7,000 passengers welcomed by the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, during one of history's darkest days. Their story is a testament to the transformative power of kindness in times of crisis.

Today, let’s celebrate the spirit of Gander by choosing kindness and lifting each other up. Whether it’s a small act or a grand gesture, every bit of kindness counts. ✈️❤️
