The Concordia Story
December, 2019
Concordia Productions began because a 16 year old girl was outrageously bored and decided to put on an original play with her friends while also raising money for charity. She gathered a writer, cast, and performance venue and Concordia Performing Arts Company was born.
July, 2020
After four successful livestreams, resulting in over $1000 raised for organizations like Feeding America, World Vision, and the St. Jude House, the Concordia team reevaluates the goals set for the company, resulting in a "rebrand."
March, 2020
Barely two months before opening night of Concordia's first show, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S and the event was cancelled. Armed with an excess amount of time and the insanity that can only come from being locked in with your family for weeks on end, the Concordia team pivoted from their original idea, and created the PACLive livestreams.
September, 2020
Now called Concordia Productions, the goal of the company is to continue to explore new creative service opportunities within constricting circumstances, and to do so while emphasizing a supportive, engaged community.
