MPAC Arts in the Community Presents: Theatre of Light 2025
The universal symbol of light will illuminate the rich cultural diversity of our community when Mayo Performing Arts Center transforms the Vail Mansion Plaza into our “Theatre of Light.” A curtain of stars and lights will welcome the community onto the Vail Plaza for this free evening of celebration. Specially lit magical winged dancers will perform while enchanted creatures and puppets roam about in dazzling colors. There will be music, dance, ice carving and craft making from a variety of community artists.
Join us for MPAC’s Theatre of Light: Celestial Winter, a dazzling celebration where music, movement, and magic come together under the stars. Participate in one of several community crown making workshops.
On November 23, Morristown transforms into a radiant winter wonderland featuring glowing Okamoto Studios ice sculptures, ethereal LED-winged dancers, life size puppets and the soul-stirring voices of the MPAC Performing Arts Company. Make a wish at the luminous Wish Upon a Star Tree, feel the beat with our high-energy of DJ Lingo, and be mesmerized by the fiery spectacle of our fire dancer.
Let your creativity shine at our Crown-Making Station, where you can decorate your own crown strung with delicate white lights. Then, step into royalty as you sit upon the breathtaking Fire & Ice Throne: a stunning photo opportunity that lets every participant feel like winter royalty.
At the heart of it all stands Ellie the Elephant, reimagined as a majestic Winter Ice Queen, guiding us through a night of unity and enchantment. The powerful presence of the Unity Steppers from the Morristown Neighborhood House adds rhythm and heart to this unforgettable evening.
Celebrate the season where every light sings, every voice shines, and every crown glows.
