All proceeds from the gala and all MoorArts events support student scholarships and teacher grants in the arts in Moorestown Township Public Schools, and build arts awareness throughout the community.
Noted Broadway performer (Chicago) and Moorestown native, Christopher Newcomer, will be one of the headliners. Newcomer got his start on the Moorestown high school stage, earning a MoorArts scholarship in his senior year. Since then he has performed continuously and has extensive musical theatre experience as well as a professional opera background.
