It’s been over 181 days since the Performing Arts Center has hosted an event, and they are now announcing a NEW outdoor event format. For the first time ever, enjoy a concert film projected onto the outside of the Performing Arts Center from the comfort of your own "Seating Pod". On Saturday, September 19, experience The Rolling Stones concert film “Shine A Light” under the stars from the Performing Arts Center parking lot.

Governor DeWine recently announced reopening guidelines for performing arts theaters in Ohio. Venues like the Performing Arts Center at Kent State at Tuscarawas (PAC) fall under this category, and we cannot wait to welcome everyone back safely to share another live experience. However, the capacity restrictions and social distancing requirements for reopening present a severe economic challenge and even in the arts, it all comes down to the numbers.

In keeping with safety precautions due to COVID-19, Kent State University at Tuscarawas Engineering Technology Program Director Paul Dykshoorn and Senior Electronic Technician Rick Thomas, have designed and installed privacy shields across the campus in preparation for Fall Semester.

Dykshoorn was first asked to 3D print a bracket to hold a plexiglass desktop shield for the business area in May. In all, about 50 brackets were printed for various locations on campus.
