Festival 56 is a professional theater festival, run by the Princeton Theater Group, located at the Grace Theater in Princeton. Each season, we offer several productions in the summer, including FREE Shakespeare in the Park, Camp 56, with additional special events and productions in the fall and winter. Performances at Festival 56 feature a cast and crew of professional theater artists assembled from across the country who live and work in Princeton during the season. One mission of Festival 56 is to present a wide selection of the most memorable plays and musicals throughout history, from the plays of William Shakespeare to the new generation of Broadway composers. Another mission of Festival 56 is promoting theater arts education and enrichment to children and adults through Learning Stage, the education committee of the PTG. We sponsor Camp 56, a two-week summer theater camp for children.

The Prairie Arts Council was organized in 1995 with the vision of establishing a community center for the arts. The Council acquired a building in 1996 which had been built in 1930 as a church. Located on Princeton’s courthouse square, the Prairie Arts Center has added to the cultural and historical heritage of the community. Since opening, the PAC has sponsored hundreds of successful programs, classes, musical and theatrical productions and visual arts exhibits for people of all ages and abilities. The goal is to continue to carry our mission with increased participation, attendance and diversity.

The Prairie Arts Council is a regional nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization whose mission is to strengthen and support the participation in the arts in North Central Illinois. These include drama, music, art, literature and history.
