The Main Street Performing Arts Center is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation created to provide the community with a modern, state-of-the-art facility to promote and celebrate the performing arts.
MSPAC is the result of over 20 years of planning by local residents and businesses. In 2007, the MSPAC Board of Directors began working on the concept for the Center and determined there was sufficient interest and support for creating this type of facility in Southlake.
MSPAC will be built in phases on an 8.5 acre site on East Southlake Boulevard, adjacent to Town Square. The first phase will include a 1,200 seat theater with orchestra pit, stage, balcony and box seating; 100 seat studio theater; classrooms; dressing rooms and rehearsal spaces. Subsequent phases will include a dinner theater and additional classroom space.

We believe that the arts can change people’s lives in ways that other subjects cannot. They teach us to think in new ways – to imagine and dream. They inspire us to be more creative, more expressive, more curious, and more thoughtful.”
For one thing, the place was a long way from anywhere. You could get there by train, but only if you were coming from the north; the nearest station was in the other direction. And it was an hour’s walk from the station to Main Street.

Main Street wasn’t exactly rural, but it was small enough to make me feel like a foreigner at first: almost everyone had lived there all their lives, and they all knew each other. Most of them knew my parents from high school. (My father is from New York City; my mother is from Main Street.)
When I got there, I didn’t know anyone. I don’t think I even realized that some of the people on Main Street were famous until later, when I read about them in old copies of the Main Street Times, which is how we all got our news then. Since I didn’t know anyone, though, I didn’t really miss anyone either–not at first, anyway. So it wasn’t until after my parents died that it began to matter
