The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts (DPAC) will celebrate a historic milestone with a three-day community groundbreaking celebration, June 23-25 made possible by an outpouring of community donations.

Celebrations continue with an open house on June 24, 11 am – 2 pm and June 25, 12 – 4 pm, where the community is invited to enjoy performances from local performing artists and groups.
