Spire Center for Performing Arts

The Greater Plymouth Performing Arts Center, Inc. (GPPAC) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and dedicated to performing arts and educational programs which support the vibrant arts community in the greater South Shore region. The organization founded The Spire, a venue to serve as a mecca for the arts and showcasing music, theatre and dance performances as well as education that supports the performing arts. GPPAC strives to present a wide variety of entertainment appealing to all generations within our region as well as the thriving New England tourist community. As a cultural asset The Spire will provide an economic boost to historic Plymouth’s active downtown area as the cornerstone for the arts as well as serving as a point of pride for its residents. Greater Plymouth Performing Arts Center, Inc. was founded in 2010 as the foundation to accomplish a mission: to launch a performing arts center to serve the Greater Plymouth region. The active organization spent several years in search of the perfect venue for their plan which was discovered in the dormant Congregation Beth Jacob’s community center, formerly a Methodist church built in 1886. In October, 2012 the Plymouth Town Meeting voted overwhelmingly to appropriate $650K in Community Preservation Funds to acquire and renovate the building at 25 1/2 Court Street in downtown Plymouth. The Town of Plymouth has graciously entrusted GPPAC with the building, now widely known as “The Spire”, with a 100 year near free lease of their treasured property. GPPAC supports the commitment of the Community Preservation Committee in ensuring The Spire’s preservation for future generations.
