The Pocono Center for the Arts is a cultural and creative hub located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Founded by Skip Scheetz and Richard Spezzano, the center was built to fill a longstanding need in the region — a place where artists can create, performers can shine, educators can teach, and the community can come together to experience it all.

Our space brings together fully equipped theaters, flexible classrooms, art galleries, studios, rehearsal halls, recording suites, artist residences, a restaurant, and a gift shop — all under one roof. It’s designed for students, educators, professionals, and visitors who believe in the power of art to connect and uplift.

We offer a wide range of programs and events — from Broadway-style performances and student showcases to exhibitions, culinary workshops, and masterclasses with industry professionals. Our community initiatives include drama festivals, playwright competitions, and accessibility programs that create space for everyone to participate.

Backed by a board of accomplished artists and arts leaders, the Pocono Center for the Arts is a place where talent is nurtured, stories are shared, and creativity thrives. Whether you come to learn, perform, teach, or simply be inspired — this is your space.
