About Hancock Performing Arts Center

Welcome to Hancock Performing Arts Center (HPAC), the Hancock County School District’s vibrant home for performing arts in Kiln, Mississippi. Since its grand opening on February 20, 2016, HPAC has hosted a variety of productions—from classic stage shows like Little Shop of Horrors to concerts featuring artists such as Bobby Rydell, and international performances like the World Ballet Series: Swan Lake. With a capacity up to 1,000 and 842 fixed seats, HPAC provides an intimate yet versatile space for regional audiences and touring productions alike.

Whether you’re planning a school showcase, a community production, or a memorable night out, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you secure your seats with ease.

HPAC sits on Stennis Airport Drive in Kiln, a short drive from the Gulf Coast communities of Bay St. Louis and Gulfport. While the venue does not publish an official seating chart, a variety of third-party charts are available for planning. Transit service along the Gulf Coast is provided by Coast Transit Authority (CTA); check CTA routes for connections to Gulfport and Biloxi if you’re traveling from out of town.
