She may seem mild-mannered as she quietly works at her desk but at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, Margaret Goodson is a showstopper.

"I love this place it's got everything," said Goodson.

For the past 30 years, the retired legal secretary has been a dedicated volunteer.

"I've always worked in the office and I help one of the girls with the opera at one time and another time I helped with the program director,  so it's wherever there was a need," explained Goodson.

She may be 96, but at heart, she's a Broadway baby.

"I've always loved the theater I love music, I love dancing," said Goodson.

The Straz brings some of the biggest shows in the world to Tampa, but there's one production that has her hooked. Her favorite show is "Forever Plaid."

"I love the music everything about it is good," said Goodson.

And Forever Plaid loves Goodson too. The cast serenaded her at her desk. It's one of the reasons why she loves what she does.

"I hope I can be here for many more years," said Goodson.
