Scheduling Requirements

The Performing Arts Center is 20 years old this year! As we celebrate 20 years of service here on campus, we want to continue to practice care for our building. In an effort to keep the H-E-B Performance Hall clean, safe, and in top condition for all guests, we ask that no food or drinks enter the Hall/backstage/stage areas that are not secured by a screw top. Due to its high ceilings, flames and balloons are prohibited anywhere in the PAC.

We also ask that performers stow their instrument cases in the carpeted shelves backstage. We are proud of the facility and ask that all vendors, guests, and campus community treat it as you would your own valued property. The Performing Arts Center staff is available to you at tamuccpac@tamucc.edu if you have any questions about the facility.

A MINIMUM OF 14 DAYS NOTICE IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO SCHEDULE ANY EVENT. THE MAXIMUM TO REQUEST AN EVENT IS UP TO 2 YEARS. You must submit the INTERNAL RENTAL FORM and be approved at least two weeks before your event. Scheduling priority given to events is shown below:
