Update on Performing Arts Center as of 2/26.

NEW PAC PROGRESS First, thanks to the many Players members who heeded the call and attended the update meeting Tuesday night, Jan 13, 2026, at Sundial regarding the plans for the Mountain View campus. Our “showing up” made a very strong impression on the RCSC Board members and on all who attended. There were two purposes for this meeting. First, the architects, Tri-arc, wanted to propose three alternative plans for the Mountain View overall renovations (SS photo). Option 3 includes most of what has been requested by the community. Option 3A is the “barebones” alternative, and revises or eliminates several items. Option 3B represents a compromise of sorts, a middle ground between 3 and 3A, and the bottom-line cost is closest to the actual PIF budget for Mountain View. 3B and 3A represent reductions in size for the PAC Players leadership wants Option 3 but recognizes we might have to settle for Option 3B. Option 3A is by far the least favorable option. The second purpose of the meeting was to move towards a decision on fixed vs movable seating for the PAC. From the discussion it was very clear that the best alternative is fixed seating, in terms of cost, flexibility, and usefulness by your senior population. And the RCSC board seemed to agree When asked about the timeline, the board seemed comfortable with and is still hoping that groundbreaking would be by the end of 2026. I encourage all our members to find opportunities to communicate with the board members and express your wishes for the best possible PAC money can buy. Please feel to contact me if you have questions or suggestions. Tom Swenson 623-999-8714, tlswenson1950 @gmail.com. Update: At the RCSC Board Meeting on Thursday, Jan 29, 2026, a motion was made and approved by the Board to go ahead with Option 3B.
