How do I do that? Learning how to book the PAC

June 2019 — LaVerne Ayudan Corpuz wrote us a review on our Facebook, “KCC Performing Arts Center has showcased […] events such as aho`ike, dance recitals, concerts, pageants; the ambience as well as acoustics and sound; the enjoyment is amazing! Catch one of many performances there, you will love it!”

LaVerne is right. We have a variety of events in the KCC PAC, and on a busy year we could have over 100 shows. You must be wondering how does this happen? Well folks, it happens with a lot of planning, a lot of lead-time, and a lot of communication.
