American Idiot
August 21 - 31, 2025
Winner of two Tony Awards, American Idiot follows Johnny, Tunny, and Will—three friends grappling with identity, purpose, and disillusionment in a post-9/11 world. Their paths diverge as they confront the pull of city life, the realities of war, love, addiction, and responsibility.
Told almost entirely through music, the production features every song from Green Day’s iconic American Idiot album along with select tracks from 21st Century Breakdown. With minimal dialogue, this electrifying rock opera captures the angst and urgency of a generation.
This milestone production (our 100th production!) reflects PACA’s decade-long commitment to bold, inclusive, and boundary-pushing art in Erie. As a cornerstone of the local arts community, PACA provides affordable rehearsal and performance spaces, supports artists across disciplines, and fosters an environment where creativity thrives.
When you buy a ticket to American Idiot, you're not just seeing a show, you're fueling the future of local arts. Proceeds support the transformation of PACA's 5th floor into a vibrant creative hub. Thanks to a generous match by Tom Hagen, every dollar raised will be doubled - up to $500,000 - as part of our Rise with PACA campaign.

POTUS
SEPTEMBER 11 -21, 2025
One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.
Selina Fillinger’s brilliant, all-female farce took Broadway by storm in a star-studded production that earned three 2022 Tony nominations.
POTUS: or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive premiered on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre on April 27, 2022.

HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION
OCTOBER 9-19, 2025
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
