It’s Tony Awards Sunday, and we’re celebrating a season filled with Broadway talent at MIAC!

This year, four Broadway luminaries will join us as part of our MIAC Live season: Renée Elise Goldsberry, Patrick Page, Betty Buckley, and Claybourne Elder. Plus, Ann Hampton Callaway headlines our Summer Soirée, bringing her acclaimed tribute to Cole Porter to Mercyhurst.

These artists won’t simply perform—they’ll teach. Patrick Page will lead two Shakespeare masterclasses, Artist-in-Residence Betty Buckley will offer her renowned song and monologue interpretation workshop, and Claybourne Elder will work directly with students in a masterclass setting.

By joining The 501 or The Silver Circle, you’ll receive first access to tickets while helping us continue providing these transformative educational opportunities for students and the Erie community.
