The History of Paradise Performing Arts Center


The original name of the Paradise Performing Arts Center was the Paradise Auditorium and Community Center (PACC). The idea for the PACC was born on January 31, 1978, when a group of 125 Ridge residents gathered for a community-wide meeting to discuss the possibility of building an auditorium. Two years later, all documents were signed and the building plans for the non-profit began.
