I don't know what it's like to visit as a church-goer --- but as a concert organizer, I love it!…read moreIt's inexpensive to rent, and the church administration is kind and helpful.
Note: PACC has 2 venues:
- The chapel is visually attractive, has comfortable seating, and is very live. Longwood Opera's condensed Ring Cycle in that space was a bit too much for a few overly-sensitive ears! - but its Hansel and Gretel and Tosca in the same place were just right.
- The meeting hall is a barer-looking space, with folding chairs we have to set up... but used correctly, it can be transformed into a lovely concert hall, with acoustics which I personally prefer to the chapel. The trick here is to place the performers on the stage *in front of* the closed curtain, because the stage behind the curtain isn't acoustically useful.
That's how we used it again on Sunday Oct. 30, 2011, 3-5PM. for the 9th annual Music to Cure MS concert. We also took advantage of the kitchen area in the back - not to prepare food (which would cost an extra fee), but to set up refreshments to sell during intermission, in order to raise more funds for the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis. Read about the concert at http://singtocurems.org ... and get ready for the 10th annual concert in October of 2012!
