A Stage for the Community
The story of the APAC begins in the early 2010s, when a group of Troy residents and business leaders recognized a gap in the region's cultural landscape. While the Miami Valley had long been home to talented artists and passionate music lovers, there was no dedicated venue between Dayton and Sidney.
Through a remarkable campaign that united local businesses, philanthropists, civic organizations, and hundreds of individual donors, the vision for a world-class performing arts center in Troy became a reality. The Arbogast family's transformative lead gift — the largest private contribution to the arts in Miami County history — provided the foundation that made it all possible.
After years of planning, fundraising, and construction, the Arbogast Performing Arts Center officially opened in late 2021. Built from the ground up, the venue was designed to offer a premier music experience, pairing striking modern design with state-of-the-art acoustics, lighting, and staging technology
