Patricia C. Vaughn Cultural Arts Center
The Patricia C. Vaughn Cultural Arts Center honors the legacy of former Powder Springs Mayor Patricia Vaughn, who began serving as mayor in 2005 and spent years helping lead the city through a period of growth and change. Today, the center that bears her name continues that spirit of community as a gathering place for arts, culture, and entertainment. Located in the heart of Powder Springs, the Cultural Arts Center begins an exciting new chapter with Emil Thomas Entertainment, bringing professional theatre, music, comedy, concerts, and special events to the community.
Emil Thomas Entertainment
Emil Thomas Entertainment (ETE) was founded by Powder Springs native Emil Thomas, a director and producer whose work has been shaped by a lifelong connection to theatre and community. Emil holds a B.A. in Theatre Directing from Ball State University and an M.F.A. in Theatre Directing from The Theatre School at DePaul University. After nearly a decade of creating, producing, and leading live theatre, Emil founded ETE to bring his experience home and create entertainment that brings people together. Through theatre, music, comedy, concerts, and special events, ETE is creating new opportunities for artists and audiences to experience live entertainment in their own communities.
