After a long hiatus, the Penang Arts Council or PAC is back in action! Established in 1954, PAC is one of Penang’s earliest associations dedicated to promoting and advancing the arts in Penang. Ever since then, PAC has come a long way, from staging the production of traditional music and dance to pop genres. We were also privileged to receive support from the public and companies such as Texchem G

roup of Companies and YTL in producing opera, a rarity in the region. Some of the operas that we’ve staged included A Grand Night of Opera (1989), Carmen (1997 and 2004), Die Fledermaus (1994), The Merry Widow (1996), The Land of Smiles (1999), Madame Butterfly (2002) and Turandot (2003). We are rejuvenating PAC with an objective to be inclusive of all performing, visual and other art forms in Penang, and to reach out to more people. We look forward to working with individuals and organizations to raise the standards of arts in Penang.

International Comedian Zoltan Illes is coming to Penang!

After a successful run at the Adelaide Fringe festival, and before heading off to the Edinburgh Fringe festival, former international biology teacher turned comedian Zoltan Illes will bring his stand-up comedy show 'Nerdy and Dirty: Part Classroom, Part Classless' to Georgetown for one night only!

Having lived in 16 countries and visited countless more, Zoltan will intertwine his nomadic, globe-trotting life as a clueless American with educational facts that you definitely did not learn in school. Trading a classroom for a stage, he not only wants to entertain but educate. So expect to hear about being immersed in cultures from all across the world, wading in the international dating pool, teaching biology, getting older, and much more from a teacher who says things he probably shouldn't.

Date: 30th May
Time: 8:30pm
Venue: COEX @ Hin Bus Depot
123 Jalan Timah
