They then discover that they can’t leave until they find “true love.”

Chenoweth previously starred alongside Scott Wolf in the holiday film “A Christmas Love Story,” which premiered on Hallmark Channel in December 2019.

Chenoweth is a passionate supporter of charities which dedicate their time and efforts to helping those in need. She formed a charity partnership with the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center (BAPAC) Foundation in her home state of Oklahoma. Chenoweth's accomplishments were honored by her hometown with BAPAC naming "The Kristin Chenoweth Theatre" in 2012. Partnering with the BAPAC in a labor of love, Kristin launched an annual Broadway Bootcamp in 2015, providing young Broadway hopefuls with the opportunity to take classes, hold performances and learn from top mentors in the entertainment industry including Kristin herself. In her lifelong mission to cultivate arts education across the globe, Chenoweth has also created “Places!

Each concert in Chenoweth’s ongoing tour will feature local participants from higher education conservatories, universities, and colleges for the immersive educational experience.

She remembers stepping onto the Kristin Chenoweth Theatre stage for her very first audition in front of John Sawyer, Jack Wallace, Kim Vento, and Mark Frie and thinking "Even if I never see these people again, I'm so happy that they have given me a loving, encouraging space to be the most complete version of myself, just for a moment." Their dedication and Kristin's passion for providing artistic opportunities to Oklahoma's youth inspired MaKayla and her classmates to fight for the revival of their long-defunct high school theatre department. With the KCBBC faculty's never-ending encouragement, she and her fellow students successfully brought the performing arts back to a community where over 3/4ths of the local children fall under the poverty line.

She sends her love and gratitude to her entire family, "Queen" Nellie Beavers for keeping the interns alive and well this week, Keller and Chuck for helping connect her voice to her soul, and Liz Bealko for inspiring her to keep fighting for healthy, safe, and uplifting creative environments. 

Much love to past, present, and future students of the Henryetta High School theatre department.
