“The Three Oaks music program is incredibly fortunate to have an ongoing partnership with the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre, thanks to the exceptional leadership of director Peter Gallant and the dedicated staff and volunteers. Whether hosting a band concert, an intimate songwriting event, or a sold-out Popular Music Performance/R&B Band show, Peter’s deep experience as a music educator, musician, and live sound expert ensures every performance is a success. Beyond technical expertise, the heart and support that he and his team bring to working with students create an unforgettable experience, one that resonates through the performers, the audience, and the entire community.”

“The Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre is an absolute gem! The theatre itself is beautiful and well-suited to our needs in producing a junior high school musical. The staff is professional, accommodating, and welcoming. They share in the joy of young performers! We are so lucky to have this beautiful theatre in our school community- and we are even more lucky that it is so accessible to us! SMPAC makes it possible for us to take building a love of the arts in young people to another level.”

“The team at the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre has made our elementary school musical theatre productions an absolute dream come true! Before working with SMPAC, our shows were confined to our school gymnasium. Bringing our shows to this professional stage with top-of-the-line sound, lights, and tech not only made our students feel like absolute superstars, but it also elevated our production value beyond our wildest expectations.

By presenting our shows at the SMPAC, we were able to provide our audience members with a spectacular theatre experience that surpassed anything we could possibly achieve in a gym setting. The SMPAC team was extremely accommodating, guided us seamlessly throughout every step of the process, ensured that our experience was affordable and remained within our budget, and most importantly – encouraged our students and made them feel like professionals, helping them to be their absolute best on stage. We are so excited to return to the Scott MacAualay Performing Arts Centre for all of our future productions! “

“I commend The Scott McAulay Performing Arts Centre (SMPAC) for their exceptional work  during our Athena Consolidated School’s production of “Matilda Junior the Musical” held on May 23-24, 2024.

Peter Gallant and the theatre crew consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, organization, and dedication throughout the entire process, from initial planning to final curtain call. Their contributions were invaluable to the success of our show.

Their commitment to excellence and their passion for theatre were evident in every aspect of their work. They played a vital role in creating a memorable and successful production for our students and audience.

We are incredibly grateful for their contributions and would highly recommend them for any school musical theatre experience.”
