My daughter auditioned for MSA via zoom when everything was still online in January 2021. We weren’t able to tour the school and didn’t know much about MSA—other than what we heard from people who knew of the school. They told us about the amazing talent of the students and the generally inclusive and supportive environment. We were excited to learn more.
It wasn’t until MSA’s Showcase Comes Home event in May 2021 did we fully understand why there is so much love for MSA. Being on campus during the day, rotating through the different programs blew us away. The online event later that evening had even more content to share…MSA was so much more than we anticipated! We were so impressed by the students, the teachers, and the event which also happened to showcase the close-knit community and extensive parent activity needed to produce such an event.
This year, SHOWCASE2022, our annual flagship benefit, will bring together MSA’s visual and performing arts to the beautiful Marin JCC. MSA faculty and staff are working with students to create a unique experience for everyone. Hosting a successful event also requires generous support from our wonderful parents! We have a great team in place to plan the event, but there are still many ways for parents and students to get involved:
- Raffle donations are always welcome. If you have access to experiences like concert, museum, or sporting event tickets, those are always popular. Gift certificates for restaurants, salons, and spas are also great. Or if you have a vacation home to share or sports or entertainment memorabilia that you would like to offer as a raffle prize, let us know.
- We could always use additional support on the event committee.
- And we have plenty of day-of-event volunteer opportunities, including joining the set-up or decoration crews, monitoring the green room, working at the bar, and greeting attendees.
- If you don’t have the time to work the day of the event, donations of various food, beverages, and ice are also appreciated.

Please join us at SHOWCASE2022 and see why we all love MSA! Experience MSA at its best and come together with family and friends for a magical evening of vocal and instrumental music, theater and dance performances, short films, spoken word, and an extensive visual art exhibit all in one place, all in one night.
We look forward to seeing you there!
