welcome to performing arts center on the square!

Here at the Performing Arts Center on the Square, we believe that theater is for people of all ages! Our shows always fall under one of two categories, Main Stage productions and KidStage productions.

Our Main Stage productions are for community members of all ages and experience levels. Whether you have been on the stage 100 times or are looking to try something new, you have the opportunity to shine. The fear of public speaking is the number one phobia in the world. Theater offers an encouraging and safe environment to grow and gain confidence in yourself. Never let fear stop you! If you're still not interested in performing, we are always looking for people interested in sound, lighting, costume, make-up, hair, set construction, and more.

At PACOTS, we believe that theater education should begin early. That's why our KidStage program specializes in theater education. KidStage teaches the basics in many areas of theater, from acting, singing, and dancing, to sound, lighting, costumes, make-up, hair, and set construction. Theater is beneficial to children in many ways, including gaining confidence, finding their voice, making friends, and giving them lifelong memories.

Upcoming at Center on the Square! 

Tickets for our upcoming Spring KidStage production of Ghost Hunt, are on sale NOW! This cast is made up of students from grades 7-12, and you will not want to miss it!

Ghost Hunt is a spooky tale with a surprise ending guaranteed to give your audience goosebumps!  A group of seven high school friends decide to spend the night at an abandoned house that is supposedly haunted.  Phinn and Joey, who fancy themselves aspiring documentary filmmakers, have plans to capture the ghosts on film.  Believing she is a medium, Sarah hopes to communicate with the ghosts, but Timmy, the prankster, keeps interrupting her focus.  Apparently, the students were right about the house being haunted — a mysterious family in Civil War garb enters, looking for shelter from the storm.  The weird thing is that our teenage ghost hunters can hear this father and mother and their three children, but they can’t see them.  Before Phinn or Joey can unravel the mystery to capture the ghosts on film, Timmy barges in and scares the family off.  The ghost hunt is on as the teenager ghost hunters do their best to capture the family on film before the spirits get the best of them!

We hope you will come support these students and see the show!  Show times are April 4-5 at 7:00 and April 6-7 at 2:00 and 7:00.
