“For Jesus Christ Superstar we are joining forces and this production will be in our space at the Performing Arts Center, but it will be produced by GS faculty and students,” Stacie McDaniel, Director of the Performing Arts Center said. “It will be students and community members, some of whom have acted professionally before and some of whom haven’t, but it will be local talent.”

The other five shows listed will be produced by professional PAC personnel. Outreach and connections with the community are the main goal for the PAC. 

“Our main goal is to make the connections between what’s happening here on campus… and bringing that to the community at large,” McDaniel said. “We are using the talent and the resources and the passion that we have here on campus to really enhance and enrich the community.”
