It's Our 10-Year Anniversary!!!

This year also marks a special milestone as we celebrate 10 years of delivering dynamic arts programming throughout northwest Kansas. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has made the past decade possible, and we look forward to your continued support as we embrace an exciting future.

Our signature festival is back, and this season we’re doing something new—producing the same show in all six locations! Get ready for “Dare to Dream,” a Disney musical revue that follows a group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Imagineering Studio. As they help each other discover their dreams, they explore the power of unity, inspiration, and possibility through a mix of contemporary songs, timeless classics, and brand-new medleys that will captivate Disney fans of all ages.

Investing in Our Future

In addition to our festival fundraising efforts, we are aiming to raise an extra $10,000 to strengthen our organizational endowment fund—a key part of our sustainability strategy. This fund is invested, and its earnings help cover our annual operating needs. Each year, we plan to grow this fund by dedicating a portion of our theater festival’s net proceeds to the principal amount. With your support, we can ensure that this fund continues to make a lasting impact on our organization and programming. If you are interested in considering an estate gift, please let us know!

Please consider joining the MSAC today to show your support for not only the summer theater festival but all of our arts and music activities enhancing the lives of the citizens and visitors throughout northwest Kansas!
