Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
The Pensacola Cultural Center opened in 1992. Before its transformation into an arts center, the building served as Escambia County's Court of Records and Jail. The building was built in the early 20th center and opened in 1912.
What is your primary product or service?
The Pensacola Cultural Center is a home to Pensacola Little Theatre, Ballet Pensacola, and other arts organizations which have offices or use performance and rehearsal space in the building. Our facility is also home to Portabello Market restaurant, which is open for lunch on weekdays and available to cater events.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The Pensacola Cultural Center began as the realization of the dream for Pensacola Little Theatre to have a permanent home of its own. Pensacola Little Theatre incorporated in 1936 and utilized several locations around Pensacola until receiving the Court of Records building from Escambia County.
