Building on the success of their newest fundraising series, the Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts continues to bring in nationally recognized talent with their next event, “An Intimate Evening with Matt Bogart”.

He starred as Willie O’Brien, opposite Tony Award winning Best Actress, Joaquina Kalukango in Paradise Square. Broadway’s Matt Bogart also starred in Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida, Miss Saigon, and Smokey Joe’s Café.

Growing up on a farm north of Dayton Ohio, Matt enjoyed farm life and competitive sports. He attended Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory in Cleveland Ohio where he played on their renowned Division III football team while majoring in Musical Theatre.
