PACE - Performing Arts in Children's Education was formed in December, 2003, with the express desire of developing a youth theatre program uniquely and exclusively for young people. Most theatre programs for children are under the umbrella of a parent organization that primarily accommodate adult actors with the youth program as secondary. PACE is an organization where youth are the only focus, and to our knowledge, the only program of its kind in the country. PACE classes adhere to the philosophy, goals and objectives of the American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE). Class guidelines are based on current practice, research and the expertise of more than 70 project contributors from across the nation.

PACE is proud to serve as a Partner-in-Education for Hickman High School and Smithton Middle School and as a Partner Friend for Benton Elementary.
