Performing Arts Center
Each year thousands of people attend events at the Centerville Schools Performing Arts Center.
The Performing Arts Center facility contains a 1,200-seat theatre, a lobby designed for art exhibits and presentations, a dance studio and a technical theatre work area.
A number of concerts are performed here by the bands, choirs and orchestras from various schools within the district, as well as the CHS dance students. The CHS Theatre program also presents several productions throughout the year. In addition, the Miami Valley Community Concert Association holds concerts in the theatre each season.
Both the Performing Arts Center and the Centerville High School Central Theatre are available for rental. The PAC seats 1,200, while the Central Theatre inside the main high school accommodates about 340 people. Please contact Mike Cordonnier at 937-439-3535 to check on availability and rental fees for either of these spaces.
