What we do

PAC Outreach provides interactive theater education programs for students in after-school and community settings. Programs are designed to create a welcoming and encouraging environment where students can explore creativity, storytelling, communication, and performance skills.

Programs serve elementary through high school students and use theater as a tool for personal growth both on and off the stage. Through acting exercises, character development, ensemble-building activities, and articulation training, students gain skills that support performance, classroom presentations, public speaking, collaboration, and self-expression.

As PAC Outreach continues to grow, the vision is to expand partnerships throughout North Carolina by working with schools, arts organizations, cultural programs, and community nonprofits that believe in the value of arts education and youth development.

Current programming focuses on:

  • The Actor’s Toolbox and acting fundamentals

  • Character development and storytelling

  • Ensemble-building games and collaboration

  • Voice, articulation, and public speaking skills

  • Confidence-building through performance exercises

  • Creative expression and teamwork

Vision for Growth

PAC Outreach is currently building relationships with local nonprofit and after-school programs while working toward expanding opportunities throughout North Carolina. While theater education remains a central focus, the long-term vision for PAC Outreach is to create broader community-based arts and educational programming that connects performance, storytelling, history, culture, and creative engagement.

Future goals include partnering with schools, arts organizations, historical societies, cultural programs, museums, and community centers to develop interactive experiences that help students and communities connect through creativity and shared stories. This could include theater workshops, historical storytelling projects, educational programs tied to local history and culture, community events, and integrated arts experiences.
