Welcome to the website of the Performing Arts Department at Pensacola State College. I hope you will find this web site helpful in making a decision about your future musical or theatrical education.

The Pensacola State College Performing Arts Department has had a long history of excellence. For more than forty years, Pensacola State College has offered students an excellent transfer program to all Florida universities and many universities in the United States.

Pensacola State College has produced many outstanding musicians and actors such as Mark Markham, currently accompanist for diva Jessye Norman, Daisy Jackson, former vocal soloist for the U.S. Air Force Band, current vocalist for the U.S. Army Band, Antonio Guiliano, and playwright Nancy Hasty. Pensacola State College has educated many outstanding band and choral directors and has prepared others for careers in other areas of music and theatre.

I will do everything I can to assist you from helping you through the audition/admissions process to advising and assisting you in your career decisions. Please do not hesitate to call or write me with any questions or concerns you may have, because if you are serious about music and theatre and your future, we would like you to become part of the Performing Arts Department at Pensacola State College.
