About Pence Center at Central Arizona College
The Don P. Pence Center for Visual & Performing Arts at Central Arizona College sits on the Signal Peak Campus in Coolidge, AZ. With a renovated main theatre featuring 631 seats in a continental layout, the Pence Center has served as a hub for CAC’s Sounds of Signal Peak programs and even hosted notable acts like Gin Blossoms in the past. While plans have moved toward a new performing-arts facility after a roof collapse in October 2023, the Pence Center remains a key cultural anchor in the region. This page outlines seating, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining to help you plan a straightforward, no-fuss visit.
Located at 8470 N Overfield Rd, Coolidge, AZ 85128, the Pence Center is part of the Signal Peak Campus. On-campus parking facilities were enhanced during renovations, and campus lots provide convenient access to the theatre and adjacent spaces.
