McComb Bruchs Performing Arts

The McComb/Bruchs Performing Arts Center (PAC) is a premier venue dedicated to promoting opportunities for students and community members to participate in and appreciate the arts. Our mission is to provide a diverse selection of musical and theatrical performances, fostering a love for the arts in Central Wisconsin.

Our History

The McComb/Bruchs Performing Arts Center was made possible by the generosity of two Wautoma residents, Ina Taylor McComb and Pearl Bruchs. Ina Taylor McComb left over one million dollars to the Wautoma Area School District for the construction of a performing arts center, envisioning a first-class facility available for use by all those living in the Central Wisconsin area, with special encouragement to local area school groups. Pearl Bruchs also donated approximately $220,000 to support the construction of the McComb/Bruchs PAC.

Since its establishment in 1991, the McComb/Bruchs PAC has hosted numerous prestigious performances, including the Wautoma High School's production of Carousel, the Wisconsin Singers from UW-Madison, the Grass Roots, the Vienna Boys Choir, Herman's Hermits with Peter Noone, Al Stewart and The Empty Pockets, and many more.
