Durham Performing Arts Center - DPAC

architectural model of the Durham Performing Arts Center

The Szostak-designed Durham Performing Arts Center is a spectacular architectural and cultural landmark in Durham. It will serve as a regional beacon for entertainment, drawing audiences from across the midsection of North Carolina.

The Durham Performing Arts Center is 2,800 seat multi-use performance theater that will house nationally renown Nederlander productions, including Broadway shows, the American Dance Festival (ADF) each summer, and various other mid-size performances throughout the year.

A year-round schedule of national entertainment acts supplemented with local entertainment events adds marketing and entertainment cache to the thriving Durham arts scene. The DPAC opened in December 2008.
