Our Soft Opening was more than a first look inside a new building. It was a glimpse of what this space can become for our students, our performers, and our entire community.
More than 1,500 people walked through the doors, explored the PAC, shared memories, and celebrated this exciting new chapter for Hemlock.
To our performers, thank you for your flexibility and willingness to roll with the changes. While the PAC wasn’t quite ready for performances yet, you took your talents outdoors and still brought music, energy, and excitement to the day. We are so grateful you helped make our Soft Opening special!
To our volunteers, thank you for giving your time, jumping in wherever you were needed, and helping make the day run smoothly. We truly could not have done it without you.
And to our community, THANK YOU for showing up. Thank you for your excitement, your support, and for believing in what this space can mean for Hemlock for years to come.
This was just the beginning. There is still work to do, finishing touches to make, and so many performances, events, and memories waiting to happen.
But after seeing the PAC surrounded by people, laughter, music, and community, one thing is clear:
The future of the arts in Hemlock is bright.
🎥 Take a look back at a few moments from our Soft Opening.
