Founded in 2011, Pankratz Arts Exchange, Inc. (PAE) is celebrating its 15th year as a non-profit performing arts organization! Our mission is to provide high quality arts education and performance opportunities in the community for all people. This 2026 summer season marked our touring debut between three counties in Wisconsin! We are heading back to our old stompin' grounds for the holiday season, 2026 - Mt. Calvary Hall, formerly Maximillian's Hall as we celebrate our 15 year anniversary!
Previous venues are Maximillian's Hall, Mt. Calvary, WI (2011-2017) and The Shore Club Theater, Elkhart Lake, WI (2017-2025). PAE has produced nearly 30 winter/summer music revues, musical theatre shows Chicago - The Musical (October 2025), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (2016), Suds! (2015) & Forever Plaid (2014), as well as providing summer annual multi-arts youth camps since 2018.
The live arts require countless hours of prep for arts camp curricula building, arts supplies, audio mixing, editing, lighting, music & choreography instruction, website/media managing, costuming, performer and director stipends, venue rental spaces, and MORE!
We have been fortunate to enhance our sound and lighting systems and able to enhance our set and costumes as well. The shows continue to meet our mission of providing high quality arts performances for the community, and our youth arts camp held annually since 2018 supports our mission to provide educational opportunities for the community. We simply would not grow without our most generous business sponsors, donors, & community!

'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.'
-Terry Davis
'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.'

'Great music & dancing - musical direction, sound. All Marvelous!!' - Anonymous
