Join us for the First Annual Original Works Weekend, a celebration of bold new voices in theatre, presented by Spotlight 814 and PACA as part of the Rise with PACA fundraising campaign.

Over three unforgettable performances, we’re showcasing five original works by local and regional playwrights, each one fresh, inventive, and created to spark conversation, laughter, and inspiration. From short plays to one-act pieces, this weekend is all about honoring creativity, amplifying emerging talent, and supporting the future of the performing arts in Erie.

All proceeds support PACA’s exciting next chapter, including the development of a brand new community event space on the 5th floor and the installation of a new elevator to make our historic building more accessible. And thanks to the incredible generosity of Tom Hagen, all donations made in 2025 will be matched up to $500,000, doubling your impact!
