“After discovering The Performing Arts Center almost 32 years ago, we have heard outstanding orchestras, attended plays and dance performances, and our grandchildren have been to children’s shows and loved them. There have been world-renowned performing artists and musical groups… the same entertainment that is featured in New York City theaters but is so very close to our home where we can relax and enjoy.”

-Barbara & Richard Dannenberg
