The PAC is important to me because it’s my safe place, I feel happiest when I am on that stage and giving people entertainment that could brighten their day, express important themes, or leave them laughing.

Why should the PAC be important to others?
The PAC should be important to others because it gives us a community that anyone can fit into, no matter age, race, appearance. Everyone has a spot at the PAC.

We have extended our family to so many others. We’ve met so many great people through the PAC and we’ve even reacquainted with old friends.

The PAC is important to me because it inspires kids to want to do and be more.

Why should the PAC be important to others?
The PAC should be important to others because in any given show, there is a lesson or moral that we are reminded of. After a show, we leave with excitement or some other emotion that gives us cause for reflection and new insights, or maybe different perspectives.
