Yes! Just let the Box Office Staff know and we can set aside the ticket in Will Call.

There are six (6) wheelchair seats, which are either open space, or removable seat, to park a wheelchair. Handicap seating is indicated with a blue dot when purchasing online.

Handicap parking is limited to four (4) at each location. When it comes to handicapped parking, the PAECs are in compliance with all ADA requirements. It’s always easiest to drop off differently abled patrons in front of the theater before parking.

Generally, online sales stop 15-20 minutes after the performance start time.

If producers are concerned that content might be an issue, they will include an age appropriate designation in the event description online. However, if you ever have additional questions, please contact our Box Office.

PAEC Theater policy allows a non-ticketed child age 2 and under to sit on an adult ticket holder’s lap. Individual producer policies may vary.

You can find our address & box office locations HERE.

The PAECs offer free on-site parking for all events, in addition to any street parking near the theater that is available. Keep in mind, each high school where the theaters are located has more than 2000 students, most of whom drive every day. So, if school is not in session, we will have an abundance of parking to offer.

Revised: 3.18.2022 ​ The PAECs are no longer requiring vaccination documentation to enter the venues. The PAECs, Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD) and the County of Los Angeles strongly recommend being fully vaccinated and wearing a mask when attending large events. Please be courteous to all patrons, performers and crew members who are still wearing masks and face coverings for their safety. PLEASE BE ADVISED: Any producer may opt to require stricter vaccination and universal masking policies in venues for their events and performances, for cast, crew, and/or patrons. Please check individual performance policies for more details. Thanks, The PAEC Staff

The district offers different rate schedules based on the producer’s non-profit status with the IRS, as well as for students or employees of LVUSD. Contact us for more information.

Please complete a Performing Arts Education Center Event Questionnaire and return it via email or mail. It’s okay if you can’t answer every question; just include what you know now. If we have any questions after we read your questionnaire, we’ll call you. More than anything, we want to understand your plans so we’re all on the same page and working toward the same goals. (Find the form online at http://thepaecs.org/rental/ or request one via email at theatermanager@lvusd.org.)

All spaces in the PAECS and surrounding high school campuses are available to rent. To schedule a site scout or visit, contact us today.

PAEC crew members have extensive experience in the venues, relying on their knowledge of the spaces to be efficient in their work and troubleshooting to make the most of your time at the PAECs. If you want to bring someone in as a designer we are always excited to work with someone who has a specific vision for a production. We do not allow outside groups to provide their own labor, both for the safety of everyone at the PAECs and the equipment’s well being.

We will provide everything up to the point where you will clip in. You must provide your own mats, silks (with attaching hardware), hoops, etc. That way we can attach to the proper points at the grid and trim the points to the desired height. The best thing to do is schedule a consultation in the theater so we can have a clear idea of what you want. If you want to bring in your own rigger, they must work in conjunction with a PAEC rigger and crew to install the desired systems.

Yes, but you need to make sure that you schedule enough time to test the effect(s) so that you don’t trip the fire alarm.

In short, no. We are currently working on a way to temporarily institute a firewatch during shows so that there is no risk of tripping the alarm and disrupting your show.

Just as the PAECs are working theaters, the SceneShop and BlackBox are active classrooms, it’s what makes our spaces unique. The shop is available depending on whether or not there is class, or if another scenic build is taking place. We will do our best to squeeze you in, but the best thing to do is supply us with your build drawings/plans, and ground plans/elevations so we can anticipate shop use during your time at the PAECs.

At the end of the day, the final say goes to the PAEC Production Manager (PM) or Director of Theater Operations (DTO). The Technical Director is their representative when they aren’t on site so in that case they would have the final say about what happens in that situation. Technical Directors are trained to look for and institute the PM’s and DTO’s safety standards and have everyone’s best interest and safety in mind when they ask things to be fixed.

Please make sure to note the specific program you’d like to support on the envelope or the online form.

The PAEC welcomes most donations, such as items for the costume or prop shops. Please contact the Director of Theater Operations for further information.
