UPJ Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center
The Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, has become the premier regional cultural destination for more than 25 years. The PPAC is a cultural, artistic, educational, social, and economic resource for the Greater Johnstown area! The 42,000-square-foot multipurpose facility includes a mainstage auditorium theatre that comfortably seats 1,000 and attracts about 21,000 annually. The Studio Theatre, often referred to as the Black Box, seats 200 and is often used for receptions and gatherings. The Center opened in September 1991 and was only made possible by a multi-million dollar gift.
