Performing Arts Center

The Thurlow and Kathey Spurr Performing Arts Center (SPAC) will initially host 50 young aspiring musicians, dancers, instrumentalists, actors, and theater technicians; one from each state of the Union. Each of these outstanding youth will be carefully selected through auditions, recommendations by their teachers, competitions, and auditions.

They will be involved in training and live performances at the Center while simultaneously enrolled in academic studies via virtual courses offered by this country’s finest universities. Their academic studies will be augmented by actual theater experience and “hands on” practical training by the finest resident and guest instructors preparing them for a lifetime of success in their chosen profession. The entertainment and training will never cease. We call it Edutainment and there is no school in the world which offers this intense opportunity for daily learning and development.

There are also extensive plans to offer a similar program for grade, middle and high school students. In a specially designed “Black Box Theater” today’s youth will be encouraged to participate in classic performances such as The Music Man, Oklahoma!, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast. The “Little Theater” is also a fully equipped audio and television studio providing daily and weekly “made for TV” shows. SPAC will be supported by the weekly TV Series AMERICA YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.

Support SPAC to help educate and develop America’s youth.

Help us take today’s best musicians and make them champions.

The Thurlow and Kathey Spurr Performing Arts Center is an educational initiative of CMI, a non- profit 501(c)3 corporation.
