Welcome to Pablo Center

Pablo Center operates in support of a mission that is focused on developing and augmenting endless opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the performing, literary, and visual arts.

Inside our doors, guests can experience two internationally -recognizable performance spaces; the 1,204-seat RCU Theatre and the innovative 400-seat Jamf Theatre. These spaces allow us to showcase the endless possibilities of the arts in a facility capable of providing transformative experiences and creative opportunities. Our ability to transform is enhanced by our support spaces: three rehearsal, dance and community rooms; three visual arts galleries; a sound and lighting lab; set, costume, media, and exhibit design studios; a state-of-the-art recording studio; and workforce/vocational training spaces. While our building makes us unique, it is our community - patrons, members, business partners, constituent groups, and local artists - who make us remarkable.

In just one short season, Pablo has established itself as one of the premier arts facilities in the upper Midwest.

Please join us as we enter our second season.

Dream | Create | Inspire

It is with gratitude, thanks, and appreciation that we announce to you our second season. Our first season was meant to begin to show you, the audience, what was possible; a delicately-curated way to demonstrate operationally, financially, and technically how our building would function, as well as be sustainable long-term. Thanks to your support, we succeeded. We welcomed 80,000 unique guests into this one-of-a-kind facility and had the opportunity to share its unparalleled ability to showcase all the fine and visual arts with you in over 238 performances. We also learned from our 1,100+ members and you, our guests. We listened, we gained insight, and we challenged everyone to grow with us. The heart of our creative economy continues to grow and so does Pablo Center. I am excited for the possibilities contained within this incredible second season, our new partnerships, members, donors, and for you, our guests, to experience Pablo Center.

I look forward to seeing you at the show!

Last year’s inaugural season put Pablo Center at the Confluence on the map. With Season Two we are re-drawing the map, presenting a line-up that is full of surprises – headline acts alongside small treasures, local heroes, and new revelations. You will still meet old friends, those beloved shows and artists who have become a tradition. We are still a proud home for our partner arts groups. You are still welcome in a ballgown or in jeans, in pearls or in flannel. But Season Two is about what could be, what is possible. It is possible to bring to Eau Claire the shows you previously had to travel hours to see. It is possible to open our doors wider, to be more accessible, more inclusive, more daring. It is possible to become not just a national, but an international arts voice. It is possible to celebrate those who willed Pablo Center into being, while still making room for new friends, new audiences, and new partners. It is possible to host tradition and change at the same table, maybe even in the same gallery. To the tens of thousands of you who made Season One a success: thank you. Join us for Season Two and see what happens next. The possibilities are endless.

Join Pablo in celebrating Season Two and see the RCU Theatre transformed as never before!

At the center of every circus rests a 42ft ring full of thrills, laughs and excitement. 42FT – A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels, is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics. The company dares us to leap into the circus ring and experience the timelessness of this evolving art form. The show’s unique mechanical interpretation of the traditional, and its story full of the lore of the historic one-ring circus, creates a welcoming place, like a big top, where we can be amazed. The action in 42FT is full of theatricality and a modern sensibility, showcasing a galloping mechanical metal horse and a rotating tent frame for strongmen, acrobats, and aerialists. Cirque Mechanics, inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. The show, embedded in realism, displays a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics’ signature style is wrapped in acrobatics, mechanical marvels, and a bit of clowning around. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to the Cirque Mechanics world of gears and canvas, pulleys and sawdust- within 42FT.

Eau Claire was an arts town long before Pablo Center rose at the Confluence, thanks in no small part to the passion of our Constituent Arts Groups. The Constituent Arts Groups are vital to Pablo Center and its mission, and we are thrilled to support and celebrate their extraordinary work.

Chippewa Valley Jazz OrchestraSince 2009, the Chippewa Valley Jazz Orchestra’s goal has been to raise public awareness of the richness and complexity of the one true American musical art form, jazz, with musicians in the Chippewa Valley including full-time performers, music educators, students, and other community members with a passion for the art of the big band. This collection of talent makes it possible for the CVJO to tackle a wide variety of musical styles and eras, and our concerts reflect both the traditions that are the underpinnings of jazz as well as the works of more modern composers.
