About
FLORISSANT PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

local. community. creators.

The Florissant Performing Arts center opened in October 1972 under the name Florissant Civic Center Theatre. Home to two outstanding community theater companies, The Alpha Players and The Hawthorne Players, as well as several dance companies, community bands and non-profit organizations, the FloPAC seats 543 in a proscenium style theater. For those 21 and up, please enjoy a drink from our bar. Whether you're looking to be part of a performance or be an audience member, the Florissant Performing Arts Center has something for everyone.
