About PAC Savannah

The Performing Arts Collective (PAC) of Savannah is a collaborative made up of prominent groups in the community: Eastside Players, Abeni Cultural Arts, Spitfire Artists, and Warzone. Each organization has rooted itself in the city’s culture and have now come together to combine creative energy found in its acting, dancing, poetry, and music genres.

The Performing Arts Collective of Savannah has presented a variety of musicals, plays, and concerts in and around Savannah, providing an outlet in the arts for those individuals who would otherwise not be exposed. Its aim is to introduce the city to another dimension of theater production, a new level of artistry which will open more hearts and minds to the wonderment of the stage.

The Performing Arts Collective of Savannah puts on events throughout the calendar year. Across each individual group, PAC provides entertainment and cultural teaching by engaging in workshops, public and private performances, and individual showcases, which go on year-round. Each month of the year, there is an event being provided by either the PAC or one of the entities of PAC.

PAC Savannah was founded in July 2010 by Muriel Miller, Clinton D. Powell, and Gary Swindell Sr.
