A performing arts center would be wonderful. It could also be a Trojan Horse.
Most of these kinds of facilities require continuing subsidies from government or continual fund raising efforts. In many cases they work for a while when new and then public interest in providing financial support wanes.
I would think that we should have an open mind, but be clear about ongoing operational costs and how they will be funded over the long run. It may be that Villagers will be willing to provide support in the form of ongoing subsidies and ticket prices ,however, this concept needs a good deal of study.
