Best Entertainment Venue in Poway: PowPAC

Poway Performing Arts Company is the winner of the Poway Premium Partners' poll for Best Entertainment Venue in Poway.

"Fortunately, PowPAC has not seen any serious loss of ticket revenues due to the recession," said the theatre's Lynn Wolsey. "Since we offer first-rate theater at a low cost and right in the neighborhood, and since we couple this with discounts at local restaurants, our patrons find it easy and convenient to have a night out and enjoy live theater."

But the nonprofit theatre really relies on its volunteers, said Wolsey.

"For volunteers, come to a show. We hope you’ll be bitten by the theater bug and become part of our active PowPAC family," she said. "We have roles for everyone, from working in the office to helping on the construction and painting crews, to running lights and sound, in addition to acting on our stage."
