Governor Tom Ridge presents RPAC with a gift of $20 million from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "Philadelphia’s Regional Performing Arts Center is the very best kind of public-private partnership -- individuals, corporations, foundations and public dollars all coming together to build what will be a spectacular landmark. What a wonderful and exciting time for the arts in Pennsylvania," says Governor Ridge.
