The Clark State Community College Performing Arts Center (PAC) has canceled or postponed all scheduled events through March 31.

The cancelations and postponements are based on guidelines set by Gov. Mike Dewine in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, or coronavirus, according to a statement from Clark State.

“Hard decisions are being made throughout the arts world — whether by commercial or non-profit enterprises — I feel and truly share any disappointment these cancellations bring,” executive director of PAC, Adele Adkins said. “This is a really tough time, and it is affecting all of us. In a field where our goal is to bring people together, the decision to cancel an event or show did not come lightly but is that right thing to do based on all the guidance coming from the CDC and Ohio Governor.”
