Yavapai College Performance Hall

Arizona's territorial capital before Phoenix took the title, Prescott sits high in the ponderosa pine country of the state's central highlands. Its community college was established by a county-wide vote in 1965, taught its first classes in 1969, and dedicated its Prescott campus in 1970 on a hundred acres that had once belonged to the frontier post of Fort Whipple. The Performance Hall serves the campus and the county together: student productions and faculty recitals in term time, and a presenting season of touring orchestras, chamber ensembles and music theatre for an audience drawn from across Yavapai County.
