Fall Play
Ready to get back on that theatre stage and have some fun? Our upcoming Fall Play The 39 Steps is the perfect opportunity to get on that stage and MOVE!!!
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have … Alfred Hitchcock’s THE 39 STEPS. With over 150 characters to be played by the entire cast, there will be comedy. Oh yes, there will be comedy. One of Broadway’s most intriguing, riotous, unmissable Tony-winning comedies proves that anything the movies can do, the theatre can do more hilariously!
Spring Musical
As we return to the physical stage, our beloved PAC, it seems fitting that we put some magic on that stage! Come be a part of the story of Pippin, telling the journey of a young prince trying to find his purpose in the world directed by a mysterious character known as the Leading Player. Who can be trusted? What is right? Which path will he choose, will YOU choose?
Pippin tells the story of mystery, of purpose, of opportunity in the midst of uncertainty. In the wake of the pandemic, many of us may feel lost, confused, and unsure about the future. We have the chance to reach within ourselves and reach out to new experiences. What fulfills us – having the answers, or asking the questions?
