TAKE A SEAT CAMPAIGN

The new Princeton High School auditorium and arts spaces, known as the Princeton Performing Arts Center (PPAC), serves as home to all of the Princeton public schools' performing arts programs. Community organizations also use the auditorium and drama room, enabling students to hear master classes and professional rehearsals.

The PPAC has an array of professional-quality spaces including two instrumental rooms, three ensemble practice rooms, several small practice rooms, a drama room for small, experimental productions, a music library, a construction lab for set design, lighting and related vocational experience, and backstage dressing, costume, and prop storage rooms.

The Princeton Education Foundation’s Take A Seat campaign has provided enhancements such as concert-quality pianos, a choral shell, an orchestra pit cover, and upgrades to the acoustics. Having successfully completed the first phase of this campaign, additional funds from this undertaking will be used to continue the mission of PEF and to support K - 12 programs and initiatives in all six Princeton Regional Schools.

PRS Superintendent, Judith Wilson, and the PRS Board of Education made the 770 seats in the new auditorium available for sponsorship and dedication. To date more than 400 seats have been sold, but there are still seats available at every level from $250 to $1000. A commemorative plaque is placed on each sponsored seat.

The auditorium has been named the Trego-Biancosino Hall in honor of William R. Trego, long-time PHS Choir Director and the late Anthony J. Biancosino, dedicated PHS Studio Band Director, at the request of two major benefactors, but several other naming opportunities are still available for individuals, organizations or businesses. Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring a room.

Thus far, individuals, corporations, non-profits, clubs, organizations and families have supported Take A Seat. Your participation in this campaign will benefit the students and citizens of Princeton for years to come. Don’t delay—sponsor your seat or room now, before they are all taken!
