Organization and Facility
The Pioneer Center
for the Performing Arts (PCPA) is a private, non-profit
501 (c) 3 cultural organization. It operates under a
long-term contract with the Reno-Sparks Convention and
Visitors Authority (RSCVA) to manage the Pioneer Center
for the Performing Arts. Located in downtown Reno, this
1,500-seat venue is the largest public performing arts
facility in northern Nevada.
Mission and
Purpose
Our mission is to
facilitate and present the highest quality performing
arts programming in northern Nevada. PCPA is committed
to the belief that the arts are an essential part of our
community’s quality of life and well being.
Meeting
Community Needs
Pioneer Center is
the home of our area’s most prominent performing arts
organizations: the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, Nevada
Opera Association, Reno Concerts, and A.V.A. Ballet
Theatre. In addition, PCPA hosts its own Broadway
Comes to Reno series now in its thirteenth season.
Over 150,000 people from Reno, Sparks and rural areas
throughout northern Nevada visit Pioneer Center
annually. As host to over 120 events throughout
the year, from dance recitals to Broadway productions,
the Pioneer Center is a community resource that meets a
broad spectrum of cultural needs.
Building
Future Audiences
Through its
community outreach division, Pioneer Center Youth
Programs, the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts
seeks to create and nurture a love for the performing
arts in our community’s young people by introducing them
to a wide variety of exciting and educational programs
throughout their elementary school years.
Program
Activity
Once completed in
1968, the Pioneer Center quickly became a focal point of
cultural activity in our community. In addition to
facilitating orchestral, ballet, opera and general
interest programs, PCPA has hosted its own Broadway
Comes to Reno series for the last twelve years. This
year, we expect season subscriptions to reach 4,000
patrons.
