Sincerely,
Chris Bell, Region PresidentIt is my great pleasure to welcome you to DPAC
Like so many Durham residents, I recognize the jewel that DPAC is to Durham and the Triangle region.
I’m thrilled to say that DPAC, after more than a decade, is continuing to showcase the energy, the passion and great entertainment with a list of performances that people will travel from miles around to see.
This season will feature some of the biggest Broadway, concerts, comedy shows and special events to ever take the DPAC stage. You won’t want to miss the premieres of Disney’s biggest new hit, FROZEN and the winner of ten Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
A fan fa orites and first time erformers will also e ta in the sta e throughout the upcoming season, including Brandi Carlile, The Temptations and The Four Tops, Steve Martin and Martin Short, and the original Jersey Boy, Frankie Valli
And as usual, all the trappings that come with seeing a Broadway show or concert at DPAC still await you, starting with the beauty of the theater and DPAC’s legendary customer service. A visit to DPAC is an open invitation to experience Durham. It’s as easy as parking and walking to downtown restaurants, or taking a short drive to nearby malls, museums, or historical sites.
As your mayor, I’m so excited that one of my duties is to officially welcome you to one of the greatest theaters in the world! But don’t take my word: Just this year, DPAC was ranked 1st and 2nd in the country by national theater reviewers and magazines, including Venues Today and Pollstar. Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham. Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show.
“Welcome to DPAC…”
ince o enin in , o er fi e million uests ha e heard that reetin as they walked through our doors to experience blockbuster Broadway shows, worldclass concerts, superstar comedians, and many special events including dance, speakers, holiday performances and family shows.
e cele rated our fi e millionth uest milestone last e ruary and it was a si nificant reminder of how im ortant you are, our members and guests. We called this past season, our “Comeback Season” and more than you know we appreciated your words of support, your attendance, and even your patience as we did our best to reopen and juggle a sense of both safety and normalcy.
Big shows have graced our stage in the past and we have many more big events planned for this season and beyond. But even with the biggest show on our stage, DPAC would seem empty to us without having you in the audience, in the moment with family and friends, experiencing the magic and power of live entertainment.
As I write this welcome note, DPAC is ranked among the best theaters in America by three national publications (Venues Now - #1, Pollstar - #2, Billboard - #5). Back in the summer of 2021 as we worked toward reopening there were many unknowns, but each day we kept moving forward with the understanding that it was important that we come together again to share the performances, the songs, the stories, the smiles and laughs, and even sometimes the tears, that live events bring to us in a way that no other entertainment form can.
On behalf of my team at DPAC and our parent companies, Nederlander and Professional Facilities Management (PFM), we invite you to celebrate live with our 14th season and the incredible diversity and variety of the over 250 performances that will grace our stage.
“Welcome to DPAC, we’re glad you are here.”
Sincerely,
Bob Klaus, General ManagerHuman. Urban. Built for the Future.
RTP’s first downtown coming soon just 12 minutes from DPAC.
Featuring retail, food and beverage, a hotel, 20+ miles of connected outdoor trails, 16 acres of greenspace, programming at the event lawn, a community splashpad and so much more!
