Ghost Light Campaign: Upgrade HCPAC Lights, Sound, Tech

Raised
$48,925
Goal
$175,000

At the Henderson County Performing Arts Center (HCPAC), our ghost light symbolizes hope, continuity, and the promise of future performances. With your support for our Ghost Light Campaign, we can upgrade critical lighting, sound, and production technology—ensuring vibrant productions, top-notch educational experiences, and a thriving hub for creativity in our community.

Why Contribute?

  • Empower Local Talent – Modern lighting lets our actors, musicians, and artists shine brighter than ever.
  • Elevate Education – Professional-grade equipment provides aspiring theater students real-world training and confidence-building experiences.
  • Unite the Community – High-quality performances bring people together, creating shared moments of inspiration and connection.
  • Invest in Lasting Quality – We’ve tried cheaper fixes, but they failed. Now, we need a state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and production system that will serve patrons and performers for decades to come.

Our Goal
We’re raising $175,000 to overhaul our theater with quality lighting, audio, and production technology and infrastructure—ensuring a bright future for HCPAC.

Your gift not only keeps the ghost light burning but also fuels the dreams and talents of generations to come.
