The Pittsburg Entertainment and Arts Hall of Fame, located in the lobby of the historic Creative Arts Building on the Pittsburg High School campus recognizes local musicians, performers, artists and writers and commemorates their achievements and impact upon the cultural life of Pittsburg. It is hoped that by honoring these individuals, the youth of Pittsburg can be educated and inspired to use and expand their creative abilities to enrich the community.
One of those honored is our own Betty Brown; founder of PCT. Betty started an Adult Education in September, 1973, until April, 1978. She ran the classes and brought various types of productions to the delight of audience goers. Then on April 9, 1979, PCT was incorporated as a non-profit corporation and has produced four productions each year ever since. Her image is forever captured by internationally known artist and Pittsburg native Dr. Ronald McDowell. Dr. McDowell painted Pittsburg’s cultural history in a 90-foot frieze which is located in the main lobby of the Creative Arts Building.
