Become a Part of the Arts
OUR MISSION
The Hancock Performing Arts Center provides meaningful opportunities in drama, music, dance, writing, and film. This state-of-the art center encourages exploration in a wide variety of educational, entertainment, and cultural programs that enhances the artistic community of the Gulf Coast.
EDUCATION & OUTREACH
The Hancock Performing Arts Center is dedicated to entertaining and educating the community. We believe that a child’s educational development should include the performing arts to enhance his/her intellectual development. In addition, unique opportunities should be offered for everyone in the community to explore the arts through educational programs throughout the year.
