2025-26 PAC Spotlight Series Announced

This fall, the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center (PAC) Spotlight Series will feature genres of swing and magic, which is sure to enthrall family members of all ages.

Highlighting the Spotlight Series are performances by:

• Chris Funk The Wonderist — 7 p.m. Friday Oct. 10
• Phat Cat Swinger — 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8

“We are very excited to bring another exciting season of eclectic and family-friendly performances to the PAC,” said Jeff Gregor, assistant superintendent/vice president of workforce and economic advancement at the college. “We hope new and returning PAC patrons are inspired by the new PAC season.”

Chris Funk The Wonderist is more than just a magic show—it is an engaging multimedia experience that relies on the use of instruments and live-feed cameras and interactive videos. Whether it’s a violin concerto to a magical dancing sheet of music to impossibly suspending various instruments on stage, Chris Funk The Wonderist is an act not to be missed.

Led by Marco Palos and his partner-in-crime, “American Idol” runner-up Blake Lewis, Phat Cat Swinger is the ultimate pop/hard-swing band that blends rock, swing, and jazz. With a powerhouse 11-piece group, their performances are nothing short of legendary. The raw energy they bring to the stage never fails to bring audience members to their feet.

The PAC season will also include numerous performances from students and faculty in the Music, Theatre, and Dance Departments within the School of Visual & Performing Arts at College of the Canyons, as well as performances from community groups. 

Tickets can be purchased online, in-person at the PAC Box Office, or by calling the Box Office at (661) 362-5304.
