Join us for an unforgettable night where Broadway meets West Texas, as select area high school theatre students—chosen through a rigorous audition process—take the stage alongside ACU Theatre BFA students. Together, they collaborate under the direction of ACU Theatre faculty Dawne Swearingen Meeks and Dr. Chris Hollingsworth for a powerful, intimate cabaret experience.

Guests will enjoy live performances in a cabaret-style setting featuring charcuterie boards, conversation, and community. Dessert will be served during intermission.  Lights Up! is a celebration of talent, mentorship, and community through song. Proceeds support ACU Theatre through guest artist residencies, scholarships, and continued program excellence.  Sponsorship levels range from Silver ($500) to Diamond ($2,500), each including tables, swag bags, season ticket packages, and recognition in the program.
