Janesville Performing Arts Center
The Janesville Performing Arts Center serves the greater Rock County area through performances and events produced by 15 local non-profit arts groups. The center's 633 seat theatre, lobby, art gallery, box office, and administrative office are located in the historic Janesville High School/Marshall Junior High School building in downtown Janesville.
Through our partner arts groups the center hosts over 100 public and private events each year. A majority of the performances are presented by community based organizations that provide opportunities for people of all ages to perform onstage and assist backstage. Janesville Presents! serves as the presenting organization bringing professional musicians, dance ensembles, children's theatre, and other performances to the center. Musicals, the symphony, dance, concerts, comedic and dramatic theatre, educational programs, children's programs, and more - there's something for everyone at JPAC!
Today, JPAC is a relevant, vibrant and cultural organization thriving in downtown Janesville.
Unlike most venues, JPAC is not a presenting organization. Instead, the theatre serves as a rental facility for non-profit arts organizations that need a cultural home to produce their unique art. Currently, approximately fifteen user groups rent the theatre annually making up JPAC's season calendar.
Each year, JPAC serves over 30,000 local community members and nearly 5,000 students through school programming.
