Mission: Like many old mill towns in Massachusetts, the city of Fitchburg has become run-down and depressed over the past 40 years. With a population of 40,000 people, Fitchburg is a small city in Worcester County, Massachusetts, with many surrounding towns, both urban and rural. Within the city of Fitchburg, 25 percent of the population is under 18 years and 15 percent below the poverty level. CPAC is shining light on the city of Fitchburg by bringing theatre and dance productions to Fitchburg's unused theatre spaces and parks, providing arts education that is accessible to all people regardless of ability to pay, and by attracting professional performing artists to the city. The residents of Fitchburg are excited about the doors that CPAC is opening for them. They want to experience theatre in their parks. They long to get their youth off the streets and into programs that will encourage their personal development. The residents of Fitchburg need organizations like CPAC to bring life to their city and to inspire them to become excited about and involved in their community.
