Join us for a season of discovery!
The performing arts help us discover so much - joy, creativity, connection, and a sense of belonging. At the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, your support makes these discoveries possible every day. From student matinees that spark imaginations, to community programs that celebrate diverse cultures, to accessibility services that ensure everyone can share in the experience - your generosity opens the doors to discovery for all. Together, we create moments that inspire, unite, and remind us that the arts belong to everyone.
As 2025 draws to a close, we are asking theater lovers to discover their impact and make a gift to the Fox Cities P.A.C. Your donation will help cover the cost of impactful programs and initiatives that help communities discover connection, students discover possibilities, and all discover joy.
The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center opened in Appleton, Wisconsin in November of 2002 with a mission to serve as a gathering place for the community to learn and grow through the performing arts. In our 20-year history, the Center has welcomed 46 Wisconsin Broadway premieres and more than 3.2 million patrons. Mission-based programs and initiatives have continued to grow, increasing community access to the performing arts. Last season, Touch Tours and Audio Description were added as accessibility services at our venue, helping low-vision and blind community members to better experience touring Broadway productions. Each season, more than 19,000 students are welcomed for education series performances, bringing classroom lessons to life on stage. Education Series tickets are subsidized by donor support to keep ticket prices at $5 per student - or given for free as scholarship tickets to classrooms in need. The Center offers numerous programs like the Community Engagement Series and Community Ticket Rush program, providing complimentary and low-cost options to better engage people of all backgrounds in the Fox Cities and beyond.
