A variety of performances are staged at the beautifully renovated Edna Boykin Cultural Center in Historic Downtown Wilson.
Wilson Arts produces and oversees the Boykin Series and ACT! for Youth program.
Additional performances are presented by local community arts organizations, such as Playhouse of Wilson, Vision Community Theatre Group, S2P2, Hunter’s Dance, Wilson Active Artists Association, and other entities who rent the space and oversee their own programming.
