Mission

The Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center at the University strives to be the center of a myriad of programs designed to enhance the role in service to the people of the local community. Among its benefits to the region expanded opportunities to participate in a wide range of cultural programming including full-scale Broadway performances, large musical groups such as symphonies, dance troupes and internationally-known speakers; youth programs and senior citizen programs; to attract regional and national business conferences, professional meetings and planning sessions; and to attract additional visitors and guests to the area resulting in a positive impact on the local and regional economy in such areas as hotels, restaurants, specialty shops and other support services.

Vision

The Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center will enhance its programming while serving as a cultural focal point. In addition we supply space for the music and theatre arts department, Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, River City Brass Band, Johnstown Concert Ballet, Out of His Mind Dance Company, and Pitt-Johnstown Dance Ensemble, the center will offer cultural programming to enrich the quality of life for students and others throughout the region, as well as be an integral part of the University’s on-going camps and conferences program and its outreach programs.
