In 1974, the new FINE ARTS CENTER was named the Don P. Pence Center for Visual and Performing Arts. On Sunday, October 26, 1975, a dedication ceremony was held for the Don P. Pence Center and the following day the stage production "Oklahoma" premiered. The musical was a part of a long series of programs presented to dedicate the Fine Arts Center.
Throughout our history, we have presented a variety of performances ranging from South Pacific, Woody Herman, Sons of the Pioneers, Peking Acrobats, Duttons, J.D.Crowe and The New South. Our 735-seat theatre is dedicated to bringing diverse performances of artistic quality at an affordable cost.
