Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center

Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center World-Class Entertainment Right in Your Own Backyard In late 2016 Michael Bollinger was named as BPACC Director.

Formed as part of the City of Bartlett’s community offerings, the Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center was fortunate to have Ron Jewell as Director at the helm for 16 years until his retirement in May of 2015. Bollinger served as long-time Artistic Producing Director of Missouri's oldest professional regional theater - the Lyceum Theatre. He has served as Director of performing Arts Center

s in Virginia and greater New York City. BPACC was developed with concept of a multi-purpose facility in mind to provide both cultural and conference facilities to the growing city of Bartlett. With its location in the center of Shelby County, and adjacent to the City Of Memphis, BPACC is perfectly situated to draw patrons and entertainers from across the country. Since its inaugural season in 1999, the Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center has continued to play host to a variety of world-class performers; from legends such as Jeff Daniels, Randy Newman and Amy Grant to crowd favorites like Rockapella, Jesse Cooke & Let’s Hang On, each season is packed with must-see events. BPACC also provides a stage for local performing groups and entertainers as part of its commitment to foster arts in the community. In addition to its compelling arts offerings, BPACC also provides opportunities for young thespians in the community. Students are invited to join our Summer Drama Camp which features individual week-long sessions throughout the summer and is a wonderful way to get your child involved in the Performing Arts. The Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center features a 350 seat auditorium, designed to accommodate staged performances as well as large seminars. Spaces are also available for smaller meetings or training. BPACC can also provide banquet amenities for corporate and civic events, as well as small personal parties and gatherings.

The show must go on! Music by the (almost) Lake is being moved inside BPACC due to rain. You don't need a ticket, lawn chair, or even sunscreen—we've literally got you covered. It should still be a fantastic time as Almost Elton John & the Rocketmen take to our stage, now with air conditioning and a roof.

Please help us keep our auditorium clean by keeping all food and drink to the lobby and patio. We'll still be joined by a few food trucks and you're welcome to bring a picnic as usual!

Y'know, we've been getting a lot (A LOT) of calls about a certain performer of the idol variety lately.

While we can't confirm or deny who's on that lineup, we can share some important dates with you! Our whole lineup will be released on Friday, June 26, our second Music by the Lake date, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 27 at 10 AM. Until then, our lips are sealed!

(Okay, yes, it's a little cheesy.)

Well, how-dy! Each summer, Missoula Children's Theatre partners with BPACC for a week-long theatre camp that is free to attend and doesn't require pre-registration. This summer, Missoula Children's Theatre brings Beauty Lou and the Country Beast, a rip-roaring Wild West-themed adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty Lou wants to congratulate the Blue Ribbon winner of the county fair's gardening contest, but instead finds an unfriendly and ungrateful miner. Upset by his behavior, Beauty Lou calls him a beast and wishes that he would look like one too. When Beauty Lou and her family later have to rely on the miner-turned-Beast to help save the family farm, both Beauty Lou and the Beast have to learn to look beyond appearances and first impressions.

This camp is open to grades 2-12 (rising) and will be held from Monday, June 22 to Friday, June 26. Interested campers audition on Monday, June 22. If more than 50 campers audition, some may not be cast. This camp concludes with a public performance on Friday, June 26 at 12:30 PM. Tickets are $10 and will be on sale the week of the camp.
