Morristown ONSTAGE 2025

Tuesday, March 4 at 7 PM

Morristown ONSTAGE is a beloved community tradition that brings together people of all ages to showcase unique local amateur talent. Past acts have included singing, dancing, band performances, and stand-up comedy. A panel of distinguished arts and entertainment professionals will judge the competition where finalists will compete to win first-place cash prizes and the Audience Choice vote. For the past 18 years, this typically sold-out show has helped raise crucial funds for the Morris Educational Foundation to support enrichment programs for the students in the Morris School District.

Tickets to attend Morristown ONSTAGE will go on sale in early 2025.

Spotlight on Education

MPAC strives to make the performing arts a vital component of every child’s upbringing, and to spark a lifelong interest in music, dance and culture.

Through our Performing Arts School, annual spring musical, residency programs in local schools, field trip shows and family events, thousands of school-age children and their families connect with the arts through MPAC programs annually.

Performing Arts School

The MPAC Performing Arts School (PAS) serves hundreds of children annually in a nurturing and inclusive environment. More than just theatre instruction, the PAS creates an environment where friends are made, skills are honed and everyone roots for each other. Scholarships are available - we have never turned away a student due to inability to pay.

MPAC offers The Miracle Project™ (pictured left), which uses theatre training as a means for children with special needs to find their voice through the performing arts. This program is unique to New Jersey and MPAC is only one of three organizations nationally that offer it.

Learn more about our classes at MayoArts.org/PAS. To learn more about The Miracle Project™, please email croy@mayoarts.org
