WELCOME TO FITZGERALD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
The Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center is Flagler County's premier destination for live entertainment, bringing Broadway-caliber productions, concerts, family entertainment, community performances, and educational programming to audiences throughout Northeast Florida. As Executive Director, I invite you to experience an exciting season of unforgettable performances while supporting the arts in our community. Whether you're visiting for the first time or have been with us for years, we're honored to welcome you. If you have questions about upcoming events, sponsorship opportunities, or ways to get involved, please contact me at UpperCueC@FlaglerSchools.com.
Originally created through a public bond initiative, the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center was designed as a state-of-the-art performing arts venue featuring nearly 1,000 seats and providing a professional stage for nationally touring productions, school performances, and community events. The Center also serves as a teaching theatre, offering opportunities for technical theatre education and arts enrichment that inspire creativity and lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.
Throughout the year, the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center proudly presents an exciting lineup of Broadway productions, concerts, tribute performances, comedy, family entertainment, and special events. Beyond presenting world-class entertainment, our mission is to enrich the cultural life of our community while supporting arts education and creating meaningful experiences that bring people together.
As a non-profit Direct Support Organization of Flagler County Schools, the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center relies on the generosity of patrons, sponsors, donors, and community partners to help fulfill its mission. Revenue from ticket sales is supplemented by charitable support that helps fund educational initiatives, student scholarships, teacher grants, and arts programming throughout Flagler County. Additional support is provided through grants from the State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, the City of Palm Coast, and the Flagler County Tourist Development Council.
Whether you attend a performance, become a sponsor, make a donation, or volunteer your time, your support helps ensure that the performing arts continue to thrive for future generations. Thank you for being part of our story—we look forward to welcoming you to the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center.
