Where Inspiration
Shows!
We bring you the shows and acts you love, and invite you to try something new! Enjoy the finest performances from around the globe, accessible right here in your backyard. Whether it’s a tribute band that takes you back to your glory days, a comedian who makes your sides hurt, or a toe-tapping musical whose songs stay stuck in your head, the diversity of our shows offers something for everyone.
If you can sing to it, laugh at it, be amazed by it, or tap your feet along with it, you will find it on our stage!
Our Mission
The Clark Center was created to inspire, entertain, and educate our community through the power of cultural and performing arts. Bring your ideas and your imagination and let us show you the world!
Every seat feels like the front row
Bright, open, and inviting, the Clark Center defies expectations at every turn. Our comfortable and intimate setting is a conduit to the arts for all walks of life and a gathering place to meet neighbors and friends. Parking is free, the lobby doubles as a gallery for local artists, and breakthrough entertainment won't break the bank.
Forbes Hall seats 617, and there isn't a bad one in the house. Studio Theatre seats about 120 and puts you close enough to see the performers breathe. Both host touring artists, community productions, school performances, and events, and both are available to rent.
Brought to you by, you!
Some people assume we're part of the high school next door. The truth is the Clark Center is a self-sustaining nonprofit, supported by patrons, donors, sponsors, and more than 150 volunteers. Your generosity keeps the lights on, and it has funded over $300,000 in scholarships and grants for young performing artists and teachers in the Lucia Mar Unified School District.
