This theatre also houses a full range of multi-purpose events, including plays and musicals, orchestra and band performances, assemblies and touring presentations.

The 750-seat theatres are designed for audience intimacy, allowing smaller audiences to feel as comfortable as full houses.

The stages have fully working fly-lofts with complete stage equipment systems, including counterweight rigging systems, full stage lighting systems and orchestra pit lifts. Backstage facilities include dressing rooms, green room, scene shop and small studio theatre spaces. At Kettering a future music suite was master planned and then implemented a few years after the construction of the PAC.

This project included new practice rooms, instrument storage rooms and general storage and office areas for this new wing of the building. The adjacent image indicates how a technical lighting position was expanded to be utilized as a performance space for a small ensemble of either vocal or instrumental musicians. This helped achieve the goal the fine arts director had for the new PAC’s to be multi-purpose spaces and have performance areas surrounding the audience members.
