Pennsylvania College of Technology

Pennsylvania College of Technology has been a longtime partner of the Community Arts Center and has played a major role in the reopening and renovation of the theatre. The college was key to the successful reopening of The Community Arts Center in the spring of 1993. The CAC provides the college with a venue to bring in lecturers and films, hold alumni relation events, and a space for faculty retreats. The ornate CAC stage and theatre offer a beautiful backdrop each year for the hundreds of students participating in PCT commencement ceremonies. The Community Arts Center appreciates the critical support provided by Pennsylvania College of Technology year after year!

Lycoming College hosted its Honors Convocation at the Community Arts Center for the first time in the spring of 2017. It was amazing how the change in venue elevated the event for the students being honored, their parents and families, and our faculty and staff. Finally, the CAC opens our students’ eyes to terrific performances during their regular season that expand their culture and add to their humanity.

The Educational Series has proven to be a great benefit and a welcome opportunity for our students to enjoy the arts. As a district, we value the partnership the Community Arts Center has developed to bring these enriched experiences to the area and make them available to our schools.

Educational Series Coalition

Each year, schools in the regional area partner with the CAC to provide over 10,000 students the opportunity to experience live professional performances. These hand-picked programs line up with the curriculum being taught in the classroom and provide students with opportunities they may not have access to by collaborating with schools in our region. The CAC is able to provide these children with fun scholastic outings that expand learning beyond the classroom.

Student Summer Stock

The Student Summer Stock program offers high school students in the regional area the opportunity to participate in and learn how to produce a show for a performing arts theater. Each summer a production is picked and auditions are held for students in grade 7th through 12th. With help from students and staff in the Lycoming College Theater Department, the set and costumes are created. Students are able to take what they learn during the program and apply it to their individual schools’ programs. The community looks forward to this production every summer and it has become a true testament to quality and quantity of available talent in the Greater Williamsport area.
