In July 2024 PAE are offering performance groups the opportunity to travel to Italy and perform in the stunning city of Rome as part of the Summer Stages program.

During this 7 night vacation you will stay on the Crowne Plaza St Peters Hotel, located 3 miles from the Vatican City.  A panoramic tour of Rome will give you an overview of the ancient sites and you will also get a chance to see the spectacular Sistine Chapel!
