The Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center is Northern Arizona’s premiere entertainment venue, with theater seating for 1,064 and featuring the best in live performance and satellite broadcasts.
Our mission is to enrich the quality of life in Yavapai County by providing diverse experiences that inspire, educate, and entertain, instilling a life-long appreciation of performing arts and providing a unique place to host educational and informational events for the college, surrounding communities, and visitors.
Yavapai College Performance Hall was complete in 1992, the dream of Dr. Paul Walker – then President of Yavapai College and the driving force behind the bond passage to build the hall. The first concert in the new facility was the Phoenix Symphony on April 26, presented by the Yavapai Symphony Association. After being known for many years as Yavapai College Performing Arts Center (YCPAC), on March 10, 2023 Yavapai College and the Yavapai College Foundation announced the renaming to the Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center, approved by the College’s District Governing Board in February and as an acknowledgment of the creation of the Jim & Linda Lee Endowment for the Performing Arts at Yavapai College. The endowment will provide sustainable support for the performing arts at Yavapai College and continue to bring top-of-the-line talent to our community through the Performing Arts Center.
