Venue

The Richland Performing Arts Center is one of the area’s most unique theaters. It is a unique achievement of a vision, initiative, artistic accomplishment, stunning architecture, and technical facilities with impeccable acoustics. The 887 seat proscenium theatre is located at One Academic Avenue, in the Richland High School.  Built in 2007, many theatrical events performed by amateurs and professionals have performed on our very stage we call home today.

Our theatre hosts performances ranging from school assemblies, concerts, musicals, plays, and dances, to full scale theatrical productions.  It is used by the school district and is also available for outside hire.

The spirit of collaboration has always been a hallmark of Richland, and this facility is no exception. This theater is part of the Richland High School, a unique joint-use facility built in collaboration with the Board of Directors. In addition, the Richland Performing Arts Center, is helping us to bring top quality productions that will enhance the quality of life for local families and for the entire community.

Education is a lifelong endeavor. The arts provide opportunities to use valuable critical thinking skills and explore diverse perspectives. We are gracious to have performers from all over our community locally and state wide to perform on our stage.

The building was designed by the architectural firm of L. Robert Kimball and Associates in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
