Boca Raton has lost yet another icon in our community with the passing this weekend of Jan McArt, a much beloved longtime community leader and our own first lady of the theater. In her honor, we’d like to re-publish a recent profile we did of her which captures her singular spirit and very great talent.
Jan McArt arrived in Boca Raton, in 1977, having established herself as a performer of international renown and uncommon dexterity: a rich career in both opera and musical theatre; concerts with Liberace, Jack Jones and the Boston Pops; engagements from Thailand to Saudi Arabia.
