The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of the nation, is close to the center of a nation's purpose - and is a test to the quality of a nation's civilization. – President John F. Kennedy

Scranton High School Performing Arts CenterThe Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Scranton High School is a small intimate theatre seating 798 people. Located off the main concourse of our high school, the PAC is the heart of our school community hosting monthly community movie nights, district board of education meetings, school presentations and so much more.
The facility was designed and built with state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting and production equipment, a 40’ line set fly-rail system, acoustics, dressing rooms for cast members, handicapped-accessible seating, and audience comfort in mind. There truly is no bad seat in our venue. The center comfortably accommodates the needs of choir, instrumental and theater performances for the school, provides a gathering space for students and staff, and gives the community a location to hold various performing arts and other events for all ages. We are also grateful for such an enriching facility that provides hands-on experience for students in every aspect of the theatre. From the working box office to the stage manager’s desk, our trained and eager student body fulfills every role. |
