Cabrillo’s PAC (Performing Arts Collective) serves as the school performing arts club, which produces shows in the black box theater. This semester PAC has engaged in an ambitious production of Harmony in Hollywood, a musical play about the production of one of the first musical movies in the 1920s. Using hits from the 1920s, director David Hamilton, a music and theater arts student at Cabrillo wrote it to be an ambitious and inclusive large cast production.

Hamilton feels that this play will be an excellent way to build community among campus performing arts.

“A student produced musical is something that PAC hasn’t done before, it brings collaboration between theater, music, and dance students. The idea is to bridge gaps and bring connectivity between different facets of performing arts. It’s a show designed to give different people opportunities to try something new,” he said.

Hamilton’s goal with harmony in Hollywood was to write and direct a fun comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, while showcasing what performing arts students are capable of.

​”The whole style and look of this show is eccentric and fun, I think people will be asking what the heck is going to happen next?“ Hamilton said.

Harmony in Hollywood will be running May 9, 10 and 11 at 8:00 p.m. and May 12 at 2:00 p.m. in the Black Box Theater.

PAC meets Tuesday afternoons from 5-6 p.m. in the VAPA Green Room.
