“Mostly, I go to Pacific Conservatory Theatre. Maybe it’s because of how busy we are, but most of my art enjoyment is bound up in the life of Allan Hancock College. So, the Concert Band, the amazing ceramics that happen on campus, the design department, the chorale group; there is a ton of art.”

PCPA communications manager
