The Durham Performing Arts Center will soon be a reality

Durham Performing Arts Center, April 25, 2008

North Carolina will have a new live entertainment theater like no other. This venue is specifically designed to present the biggest shows on tour. The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) puts you close to the stage, with no seat further than 135 feet. The DPAC will feature world-class performers, spacious seating, state-of-the-art sound and lighting and convenient parking. DPAC allows you to experience live performances in an entirely new way. The new venue is slated to open in December 2008. Season Tickets are currently on sale.

After years of discussion and planning, the design phase of the DPAC was completed in February 2006. Construction began in September of 2006 and will finish in November 2008. A 10th anniversary production of Rent will begin the season next January, followed by Fiddler on the Roof in March, Legally Blonde The Musical in April and The Color Purple, which closed on Broadway Feb. 24th, 2008, after 910 performances, in May. Meanwhile, the long-running smash Wicked, which opened on Broadway in late 2003 and has been touring the continent since 2005, has been confirmed as the main attraction for the 2009-2010 series.

The excitement and anticipation for the Durham and surrounding communities continue to grow as the project nears completion. You can check the progress of the construction at View the Skanska USA DPAC webcam
