Short description of your business:
The Northshore Performing Arts Center Foundation (NPACF) was established by Northshore-area residents (Bothell, Kenmore, Mill Creek, and Woodinville) who were committed to bringing a cultural center to their community, where they could enjoy the performing arts, engage their children in creative educational programs, and experience culturally rich performances from around the globe. Through NPACF's partnership with the Northshore School District and the City of Bothell, we now have a beautiful state-of-the-art 600 seat theatre on the campus of Bothell High School where artists from around the world and close to home bring live performance to the Northshore community. NPACF is a federal 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
When was your business established?
In 1996, NPACF began its work to raise community support for construction of a new theatre. The Northshore Performing Arts Center opened its doors in December, 2005, when a full house of eager theatre-goers enjoyed a symphony performance in the beautiful new facility they had helped to build. Since then, NPACF has presented over 100 performances in the theatre and continues to represent the Northshore community in their usage of the theatre.
Who is your ideal customer?
There is something for everyone at Northshore Performing Arts Center. Seasoned theatre-goers as well as first-time audience members will enjoy the variety of arts and entertainment events and will appreciate the value and convenience of attending a live performance in their own backyard. The ideal customer is YOU!
