Devin Spears Talent Showcase

Devin Spears Memorial Scholarship Fund awards scholarships annually to local graduating high school seniors pursuing higher education in the arts. Since its inception, EPAC has awarded over $10,000 in scholarships to area students.

The Fund was organized in 2003 in memory of Devin Spears who was a member of the EPAC Kids Theater Workshop and starred as Dorothy in the workshop's 2001 production of "The Wiz". Devin and her mother, Valerie, were tragically murdered in 2002. Devin was a young lady who believed in living life to the fullest and following her dreams. We think that it's very fitting that the scholarship in the her name will assist aspiring artists in pursuing their dreams.

The Devin Spears Talent Showcase was organized in 2006 and has taken place every year since.

EPAC ROCK & ROLL PRJECT

The EPAC Rock ‘n’ Roll Project is composed of some of our area’s finest rock musicians.  Their theme concerts have entertained audiences with live music productions such as “Smokin’ Through the Seventies”, “Rock Around the 50s”, “Woodstock”, “Rock, Rhythm & Blues” and more.

Auditions for EPAC Rock ‘n’ Roll Project events are published on our web site and in local newspapers.

Shakespeare in the Park

The Shakespeare in the Park series is an effort to give back to the community that has been so good to us.  These shows were held originally at the George W Johnson Park on Oak Hill Avenue in Endicott. After the completion of the Stage at Little Italy in 2010, these performances were moved to the new pavilion.

Auditions for EPAC Rock ‘n’ Roll Project events are published on our web site and in local newspapers.

EPAC Special Events

Special events happen magically at EPAC. Productions and collaborations with other area performing artists have produced “The EPAC Comedy workshop”, “Sensory Perceptions”, “An EPAC Christmas”  and many others providing unique theater experiences for our community.
