Portage Center for the Arts

Portage Center for the Arts was established in 1986, an outgrowth of PACT (Portage Area Community Theatre). In 1987, our building at 301 E. Cook Street in Portage was purchased, and on October 31 of that year, we celebrated the grand opening of the Zona Gale Center!

In 2003, in an effort to distinguish ourselves from Zona Gale's home (Museum at the Portage), we changed our name Portage Center for the Arts, however, we still honor our famous Portage daughter with our 279 seat Zona Gale Theatre!
