Over A Decade of SOUL

In 2022, the Pamela D. Franklin Cultural Center for the Performing Arts celebrated it's first 10 years of service. We believe Performing Arts is a powerful tool that can be used to entertain and unify minds.  For over a decade, the PDFCCPA has provided those we serve with opportunities to express themselves through the global languages of motion and emotion.

The PDFCCPA is truly honored to educate and support our community. We will continue to use Performing Arts to promote self-expression, demand social justice, instill respect of cultural differences, and raise environmental awareness. Here's to another decade of using artistic freedom as the key to unlock the SOUL.
