SAN TAN VALLEY, ARIZ. - The J.O. Combs Unified School District is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Combs Performing Arts Center (CPAC) beginning March 1, 2021.

In order to continue to prioritize health and safety of all guests, performers, and community members, additional requirements now include required masks, social distancing, temperature checks upon entry, liability waivers, reduced capacity of 25% (129 seats), and increased sanitation and cleanliness before and after each event.

Originally completed in January 2019, the Combs Performing Arts Center is an elegant venue featuring an intimate 516 seat house, a mezzanine with excellent views and acoustics, state of the art technology, a spacious lobby, large backstage spaces, a dance studio, and a flexible black box performance space with lobby access.

"Our Combs Performing Arts Center is truly a jewel of a venue, not only for San Tan Valley, but for our surrounding communities," said Dr. Greg Wyman, Superintendent. "The performing arts offer so much to our students and community members alike, and we look forward to safely welcoming back our patrons while also taking the appropriate measures to prioritize health and safety."
