P.A.T.H.S. Program
The Frank C. Shattuck Performing Arts Touch the Hearts of Students (P.A.T.H.S.) Program works annually with a group of students with unrealized potential to engage them in live performing arts. Through this program, the Center offers students life-changing moments and access to world-class, live Broadway experiences.
In 2025, thirty-five students and chaperones from Neenah and Kaukauna High Schools attended opening night of Hell’s Kitchen at your Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. In addition to an awe-inspiring evening of musical theater, the students enjoyed a catered dinner at the Center and a post-show discussion with members of the cast including Maya Drake, who portrayed the lead (“Ali”) in the production.
"We see the P.A.T.H.S. program as an excellent way to expose our students to the arts. For many of the students, these types of activities are not things they have done before, so they often have to step out of their comfort zones and try something new."
