"Thanks to the level of commitment and passion in our communities, it is possible to present a variety of multicultural, educational, and entertaining live performing arts experiences to the Fox Cities."

Since the Center opened its doors in November 2002, it has strengthened the bonds with the community by partnering with individuals, businesses, and organizations. The Fox Cities P.A.C. is honored to work alongside the community in serving families, friends, schools, businesses, and more for the last 20 years; the Center looks forward to continuing to engage and inspire our community through exceptional live experiences.

This 20th anniversary season serves as a reminder of the importance and impact that the live performing arts has on the community. Together, with the support of our communities, we look forward to a bright future."
