2021 UPDATE
Reflecting On an Unexpected Year
Thank You for visiting this website for the Trueblood Performing Arts Center. We are now partially through the 2021 TPAC season and have had some wonderful shows. More terrific shows are on the coming horizon with the remaining schedule laid out below.
Hopefully, you are some of the fine folks who have joined us. If not, there is still time! Remaining shows will continue to be outside on the front lawn of the Theater where folks can continue to spread comfortably out while having a picnic, making new friends, seeing old friends; all while enjoying the outdoors while listening to quality entertainment. Others will be held inside in our beautiful and comfortable theater, should the weather not allow for an outside show.
Lastly, please let us know if you have suggestions for future shows, suggestions for the theater, would like to volunteer, would like to perform or would like to help sponsor a future show. Any or all of these will make for a stronger and healthier TPAC. Feel free to call us at 920-847-2528 or to email us at tpacwashingtonisland@gmail.com
We so look forward to seeing you and hearing from you. Thank you for being a part of our TPAC family!

A get away, away. Home to visual and performing artists and rich island artistic traditions. Musicians gather to play and try new stuff, fiber artists travel far to come here, and world-class musicians and authors gather each year and call it a festival. All on this tiny island.
