Cedarburg Performing Arts Center - Enlighten, Educate, Entertain
Founded in 1999, Cedarburg PAC, Inc. was established to support the Cedarburg School District's commitment to delivering professional performing arts experiences to Ozaukee County. Our organization enables the district to fulfill this promise without assuming financial risk, maintaining a collaborative relationship that prioritizes student engagement with the performing arts and nonprofit operations. Through our Visiting Artists Series, we bring world-class performers to our community, offering intimate 580-seat theater experiences where the last row is only 78 feet from the stage. We emphasize educational enrichment by coordinating master classes, workshops, and on-stage collaborations between artists and students, including opportunities for commercial art students to create promotional materials. Our mission to Enlighten, Educate, and Entertain is supported by a dedicated network of underwriters, sponsors, and donors, whose contributions allow us to maintain high-caliber programming.

We offer tax-deductible donation opportunities at multiple levels, from $100 to $2,999, and participate in corporate matching funds programs. Our venue provides accessible seating and convenient parking, with performances often preceded by dining opportunities in historic Cedarburg. We maintain transparency through program acknowledgments of donors and annual reports on community impact. Our administrative team manages ticket sales, donor relations, and event coordination, ensuring seamless execution of each season. With a focus on community-building and artistic excellence, we continue to expand our reach through initiatives like Visiting Artists Series Jr., funded by the La Macchia Family in memory of Sharon La Macchia.

Huge parking lot. Easy access. Large, clean restrooms. Comfortable, but somewhat narrow seating. Large auditorium, but because of the design, felt intimate. Peter Noone and his band, HERMAN'S HERMITS, put on a great performance. No flashing strobes, just fantastic music with a side of comedy, and a splash of dancing. Mr. Noone's voice is 100%!

Great Performing Arts Center. All seats are good seats. Anytime you are watching your kiddos perform, you are treated to a delightful place to watch

The Cedarburg Performing Arts Center is like the sweet-spot on a baseball bat as when one gets ahold of a nice one it's going out of the park. This is the case when artists such as The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Chris Botti, or even the Cedarburg High School choirs perform at the CPAC as the venue produces a rich, warm, full sound which can make for a great event.
