“I think that it's really made me appreciate different facets of putting on a show, because I've never produced a show before, and it's giving me a sort of on ramp to different kinds of responsibilities, to the point where I could maybe do it myself at some point. So yeah, I think that's the same story for a lot of people. They start in a very fixed role, maybe it's performing, maybe is just volunteering or organizing something, or fundraising. And then you find yourself getting stretched in all these different areas, to where you're much more well-rounded, not just a performer, but a person with a lot of capabilities.”

“With PAC, what I really enjoyed was I got to talk to so many people that night, and do a lot of things I'd never done before, like, obviously stepping into a new kind of job like that - definitely I was gonna do new things. I think I experienced a lot of stuff and it was really nice seeing all the different cultures, and talking to all these people.”

PAC will always value acts with as much authenticity as we can find, while also offering accessible on-ramps to create respectful appreciation for other cultures. Continuing to learn and grow is the point, either way, and we support everyone’s journeys to greater understanding.
