Welcome to Pankratz Arts Exchange, Inc.

Our current venue offers dinner shows as well as show only options. For those wanting to wine and dine before the entertainment, you have 90 minutes of food and hospitality service before show time. The table is yours for the evening. Round tables seat up to a party of 8. If your party is less than that you will feel a sense of community as you share your family style served meal together.  Menu selection, food & hospitality service and your dessert (held for digestion until served at intermission;), is brought to you by Red Cabin at Green Acres-an award winning local restaurant just ten minutes away from our venue.  RCGA stays in house with us for your evening festivities.  If you opt out of dinner, no worries, our venue has a full service bar, bar seating during the show, or rows of chairs seated as close to the stage as the tables of diners.  For seating chart click on our 'Tickets.'

Doors to get to your seats open at 90 minutes before show time for dinner show patrons, 30 minutes for show only patrons.

'The show last night was great! What was I most impressed with????THE CHOREOGRAPHY was fascinating. The HARMONIES were awesome as well! The sound system was right on the money…no feedback….i could hear everyone…and it was flawless.'

'Thank you for the great show last night. On the way out the door, our son said "I think that was the best one yet". It's very cool to hear that from a 12 year old boy. On the way home our kids were both asking about Motown- what is it, where is the name from, etc. It made me stop and think about what we are able to expose them to through your shows. They can appreciate a world they might not ever know existed, if not for seeing live performances.'
