The Center for Performing Arts is celebrating its 25th Anniversary Season.

Although our season is not what we originally envisioned, due to COVID-19 complications, we are committed to bringing together diverse artists and audiences, to inspire and educate, to make cultural artistic experiences accessible, and to connect with the communities.

We are in this Together.

Over the last 25 years, the Center has embraced inclusion, community, and quality. By providing a welcoming and inclusive cultural space, the Center encourages authentic participation, promotes critical thinking, improves wellbeing, and offers a sense of belonging.

The Center plays a crucial role throughout community members? lives by introducing children to their first live cultural experiences often welcoming them back as artists, patrons, students, and volunteers. As well as provide opportunities for families to create lasting memories. But we don?t stop there. The Center aspires to deliver exceptional experiences for all. From programming to artists? and patrons? services, from a quality venue to professional production expertise. Quality is reflected in our attitude, flexibility, attention to detail, and ongoing development.

Becoming a Center supporter allows you the chance to enhance the community by helping provide free content to underserved areas and individuals, offer scholarships, mentor leaders for tomorrow, and bring world-class performing arts, social awareness programs, and educational platforms to enrich, connect, and cultivate compassion throughout the community.

It is important now more than ever, our communities take in the arts to fill their homes and touch their hearts. Only with your support, will the Center remain a viable and significant benefactor to the quality of life in the Southland. It requires multiple partners to unite. Together.
