Original Works Weekend
June 20, 21, 22

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!

Radium Girls
July 18 - August 3, 2025

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors, who play more than 30 parts—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and myriad interested bystanders. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
