THURSDAY, MAY 1

The Mercyhurst Institute for Arts and Culture (MIAC) presents the Tony Award and Outer Critics Circle award-winning Aaron Tveit's return to Erie and the university's Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center.

Artistic Director Dr. Brett Johnson shares, "MIAC strengthens the vibrancy of the Erie region by presenting world-class performing arts experiences that lift the spirit, galvanize the intellect, stimulate the imagination, and encourage the free exchange of ideas. By making these programs available and accessible to the broadest possible audience, the Institute strives to create an environment of richly varied, inclusive cultural experiences."

Tveit holds an extensive resume in theater, television, and film, appearing across Broadway in shows like Sweeney Todd and Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and popular TV shows like Graceland and Gossip Girl. Film credits include his role as Enjolras in Les Misérables.

"It's inspiring to watch a great artist evolve over time, as they hone their craft, deepen their storytelling, and harness their extraordinary talent for the enrichment of humanity," Johnson remarked. "These qualities distinguish the performers who have enthralled us all for the past seven seasons, including those like Tveit, who have headlined our 2024-25 season, bringing new shows and new set lists, but also new perspectives on their work and the world."

With such a wide appeal, the night is projected to mark an unforgettable experience suitable for all ages.
