"The Niswonger Performing Arts Center is a powerful asset for the community and our local schools. The value of the Arts is immeasurable. I am thrilled to see the education and cultural exposure the events in this facility have provided for students and for surrounding community members through the NPAC's annual seasons, its use as a rental facility for businesses or individual patrons, and the opportunities available to local students for theatre, music, assemblies, and other worthwhile educational ventures. The NPAC is in constant use; what a blessing for Van Wert County!"
