Theatre of Light

The universal symbol of light illuminates the rich cultural diversity of our community in the “Theatre of Light.” Since 2019, Theatre of Light has brought thousands together through creativity, wonder, and shared winter traditions. Browse our past event photo galleries and videos below!

After seven wonderful seasons, MPAC’s beloved Theatre of Light will take on a new shape in 2026 as we reimagine the next chapter of this cherished community event.  This year, we look forward to continuing that tradition in new ways, with special experiences taking place throughout Morristown over several weeks rather than as a single-day event.

• The beloved Wish Upon a Star Tree will return to the Morristown/Morris Township Library library from November 3 through December 30
• On December 28, families are invited to enjoy crown-making workshops at the library from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.
• The celebration continues on First Night, when the Wishing Tree will be featured on the MPAC Plaza. Morristown’s First Night festivities will also include a family-friendly performance by MPAC’s Performing Arts Company on the MPAC stage at 7 p.m., along with appearances by Theatre of Light’s favorite giant puppets.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the creativity, joy, and community spirit at the heart of this tradition!
