Poway Center for the Performing Arts Foundation - POW!
San Diego Theatre, Music and Arts in Education

About us

Formed in 1990, the Poway Center for the Performing Arts Foundation, or "POW! Foundation," is the nonprofit organization responsible for booking professional artists into the city-owned Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Each year the Foundation, in partnership with the City of Poway and the Poway Unified School District, assembles a line-up of top-notch talent from the worlds of drama, dance, music, comedy and more.
Each year the POW! Foundation presents an entertaining and enriching series of live shows - be it classical music, rock-and-roll, big band and Cajun to dance, drama and family shows, the POW! Foundation is San Diego's ticket to quality, live shows.
Join our Executive Producers Circle to be part of the creative process.

Our vision is to create a cultural town center - a unique environment where neighbors can sit shoulder-to-shoulder for an entertaining and enriching San Diego live shows and performances.
