Live, Local, Arts
The IceHouse Performing Arts Collaborative (a.k.a, “IcePAC”)
supports a steady stream of diverse performances and
events featuring your favorite artists from right here
in the Lehigh Valley.
In balance with the ever-expanding number of Lehigh Valley arts venues and festivals that present touring artists, the IceHouse Performing Arts Collaborative exists to serve and share the artistry of our local culture. Rooted in creative placemaking, IcePAC is a platform for work created by local and regional artists—an incubator for new ideas, a gathering space for community, and a stage where the Lehigh Valley sees itself reflected.
Shows & Events
The weekend schedule features full stage productions in theater, music, and dance, community gatherings, and sets the stage for audience exchange, the premiere of new works, and great conversations with local artists after every show.
Jakopa’s Punch - Touchstone Theatre
Weeknight programming at the Ice House features performances and workshops in jazz, poetry, world music, rock, punk, comedy, and more. IcePAC offerings during the workweek are models of community participation as they teach, share, and engage the public on a regular monthly schedule.
Basement Poets
Most importantly, IcePAC is not a presenter. We facilitate the Ice House space for local artists and IcePAC committees in partnership with the City of Bethlehem Recreation department.
