PAC-1-ACT Logo

Started in 2015, The PAC-1-ACT Festival is an opportunity for students to take a show from the page to the stage. PPHS Juniors and Seniors can apply each fall to be one of the directors for that seasons festival. Once selected they then select a one act form our extensive library of scripts and begin the process of producing the show. Planning a rehearsal schedule, creating blocking, designing scenery and props are just a few of the challenges to produce a show. Students learn valuable skills and make life long memories directing thier own show.
