Fox Cities P.A.C. Announces All-Virtual Amcor Education Series

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center has announced an all virtual 2020-21 Amcor Education Series as part of the Center's commitment to providing educators and students accessible arts education programming.

"The Amcor Education Series has a long history of educating and inspiring students and providing educators with resources that enhance classroom lessons. While we usually welcome thousands of students to our building each year, we are thrilled to be able to adjust to bringing the theater to them, wherever they may be learning," said director of programming and community engagement Amy Gosz. "The Center will provide several virtual opportunities that help to educate and inspire through the arts as well as resources for parents and educators. Each opportunity will be offered free of charge, thanks to the generosity of our partners and supporters of the Act 2 Fund."

Additional programming will be added throughout the season to continue to meet the needs of educators and students. Examples of programming included in the 2020-21 Amcor Education Series include:
