Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center - Vermont’s New Venue for the Performing Arts

STOWE, VERMONT- A dramatic cultural enhancement is coming to Stowe Mountain Resort. The Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center will open its doors to the public in December 2010. Developed to operate year-round as a major component of the east’s premier mountain resort, the performing arts center is envisioned as a venue for a wide spectrum of events; theater, music, dance, comedy, film, lectures and multimedia presentations.
