In this new era, it’s crucial that you take a fresh look at the challenges ahead and create a comprehensive plan to address them.

For 30 years, we’ve been working with people like you to address the challenges of the transition from accumulating their nest egg to using support their retirement lifestyle. Get in touch today to schedule a complimentary consultation

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to DPAC

It is my great pleasure as your new mayor to welcome you to DPAC!

Like so many Durham residents, I recognize the jewel that DPAC is to Durham and the Triangle region.Though we’ve endured a few changes for everyone’s safety as we’ve attended shows recently, attendees have supported the health-related actions and worn their masks cheerfully.That’s the true spirit

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 Broadway’s biggest hits, concerts, comedy shows and special events to ever take the DPAC stage. You won’t want to miss the return of the Broadway sensation WICKED and the show of a lifetime Disney’s THE LION KING

If you have seen it before, now is your time to see it again. If you’ve never seen it, trust me and hundreds of thousands of others who have seen the show, you are in for a treat.

There are other shows and artists I’m sure you won’t want to miss, including RENT, a perennial rock musical that premiered on Broadway in the 90s, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Hadestown, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, the renowned astrophysicist and author.Those are just a few of the superstar performances that are featured this season.

DPAC fan favorites and first-time performers will also be taking the stage throughout the upcoming season, including Patti LaBelle, Jo Koy, Derek Hough, and David Foster and Katharine McPhee

Dear Friends…

On behalf of Nederlander, Professional Facilities Management and our entire staff at DPAC…Welcome!

At DPAC, we see live performing arts and entertainment events as a shared human experience; an experience that some say is now more important than ever.

Please know that this experience is made possible by dedicated, authentic and kind people that truly care. All the professionals working at DPAC are here to help you. They are trained and knowledgeable and want you to have the best experience possible.

As guests at this event, you are essential to this live experience—the show would not go on without you. So, to help you (and the other guests seated around you) to have the best time possible, we ask that you carefully review and consider these important suggestions, tips, and requirements.

• Be Helpful – We ask that you always cooperate with the ushers and other DPAC staff. They are there to help you, ensure the performance starts as scheduled, and to keep an orderly environment.

• Be Kind – Please treat these DPAC staff members with respect and kindness. They want you to have a great time, and they deserve respect and a positive work environment.

• Be in the Moment – DPAC asks that you set your phones aside and fully be in the moment during this performance. Two very important reminders…

• The Broadway shows we host are very stringent in that they do not allow photos or videos during the performance as they are disruptive and can distract the cast and those seated nearby.

• And please silence your phones and wait until intermission or the end of the performance to check for messages. CONTINUED 

Welcome from the General Manager – Continued

• Be Respectful – Be respectful of the other guests, limit conversation until intermission or after the show and if you have children with you, please step out of the seating area if they become restless or talkative.

• Be Engaged – Be engaged in the show! But please do not sing along with the actors. It distracts from the performance onstage and is not thoughtful to those seated around you.

• Be Careful – If you are having a mixed drink, beer, or wine, please be careful. Drink some water and ask for assistance if you are ever not feeling your best.

• Be Patient – Be patient with any lines for snacks, beverages, and restrooms. We know they sometimes can be long, and space is tight. We promise that everyone will get their turn.

• And Don’t Forget – Unwrap all candies now and refrain from making any noise with snacks and beverages during the performance.

And now it’s showtime…relax, sit back, and get ready to immerse yourself in this live experience. We thank you for being here and hope that this event creates positive memories that truly last a lifetime. 

Sincerely,

Bob Klaus – General Manager

GREGORY MAGUIRE (Author of Original Novel) published a dozen novels for children before writing his first adult novel, Wicked. A devotee of children’s fantasy, Maguire’s subsequent novels for adults are variations-on-a-theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister considers Cinderella as a 17th-century maid from Harlem; Lost evokes the ghost of Charles Dickens’s Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror features a High Renaissance Snow White daunted by the wickedest stepmother, Lucrezia Borgia. Maguire’s novel Son of a Witch, a sequel to Wicked, is followed by A Lion Among Men and the final volume of the Wicked Years, Out of Oz. He lives in Massachusetts and Vermont with his husband, the painter Andy Newman, and their three children.

Your Phone is Now Your Ticket

Mobile entry is a safe, easy, convenient, and contactless way to access and manage your tickets all in one place.

Safety is every venue’s #1 priority and mobile entry gives DPAC a better understanding of who guests are prior to every performance through this new adaptation. Now, more than ever, it is critical for venues to know who is in possession of each ticket in order to be able to share important information with them before the doors open and the show begins.

With mobile entry, which is powered by DPAC’s official ticketing partner Ticketmaster, there’s no need for direct contact or physical exchange of your ticket. Mobile entry guarantees a quick and safe ticket scan straight from your phone.

Our secure ticket technology reduces the risk of ticket fraud, eliminating the possibilities of theft or counterfeiting. Once you’ve purchased your mobile tickets on Ticketmaster, you can always rest assured you’re getting the seats you paid for.

Always be aware, though. Do not purchase tickets from unauthorized online ticket brokers. Don’t be fooled by online websites who mimic DPAC’s name or website or offer tickets they might not even have. Go directly to DPACnc.com or to Ticketmaster.com

The Best of High School Musical Theater

Talent in our Region

The DPAC Rising Star Awards celebrates outstanding achievement in high school musical theater by focusing attention on the meaningful work being done both on and off stage by dedicated teachers and students.

As the regional qualifying event for The National High School Musical Theatre Awards™ (NHSMTA), also known as The Jimmy Awards®, the DPAC Rising Star Awards brings together high school musical theater students from Durham, the Triangle and the surrounding region to perform and compete for a chance to represent DPAC in the national finals in New York City.

To learn more about how to register your school’s theater program for the DPAC Rising Star Awards, please visit DPACnc.com.

In Spring 2023, DPAC named Lilly Pritchard (Heritage High School) and Noah Colvin (Enloe High School) DPAC’s Rising Star Awards’ Best Actress and Best Actor winners. Lilly and Noah then went on to compete nationally at The Jimmy Awards®.

This year, the national competition included a total of 96 nominees representing 48 Regional Awards Programs from across the country. Lilly and Noah worked with Broadway professionals and made their Broadway debuts on Nederlander’s Minskoff stage where Disney’s The Lion King performs to sold out audiences nightly. Both represented DPAC and Central North Carolina exceptionally, and we cannot wait to see their bright futures.

More information on NHSMTA™ and The Jimmy Awards® can be found at jimmyawards.com

DPAC’S RISING STAR AWARDS IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF NORTH CAROLINA

Help local students experience their first ever Broadway show

Discover Broadway offers Truist Broadway members a way to donate tickets so their valuable seats do not go unused. Thanks to the generosity of DPAC’s Truist Broadway members, hundreds of tickets have been donated to deserving students from high schools and universities located throughout Durham. For many, these seats provided opportunities for students to experience their first ever Broadway show. For those that we serve through this program, these opportunities are more than just a ticket, they are a chance to experience something that could inspire goals and dreams for the future.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN DONATE:

• If you know in advance that you cannot attend a show, or even if one member of your party will not be joining you, simply contact DPAC at DiscoverBroadway@dpacnc.com.

• You will receive an acknowledgment from DPAC that your unused tickets will be transferred to an area student.

• DPAC will handle all other details and provide instructions to the recipient on how to access their tickets.

PLEASE NOTE: Ticket donations must be made at least 72 hours prior to the performance date. Discover Broadway donations do not provide tax donation receipts. 

At DPAC, we’re committed to Guest Courtesy. Please remember to be a good neighbor to those seated around you.

After the Performance Yes, the lobby gets busy and the parking lots can be tricky, but please remain at your seats until the houselights come up.

As a courtesy to the performers and other audience members, DPAC asks that you do not rush for the exits prematurely at the end of the performance.

Entering and Exiting the Seating Area Please time your exits and re-entry to the seating area to occur only at intermission or breaks between songs. This is a courtesy to other guests around you who will appreciate you keeping these disruptions to a minimum.

Kids at DPAC Please note that all guests require a ticket, regardless of age. Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at most DPAC performances including Broadway, Concerts and Comedy shows.

For some shows, DPAC will make recommendations on the appropriate minimum age based on the content and the length of the event. Parental discretion is always advised and judgment of the appropriateness of the content for each show should be made on an individual basis prior to purchase.

Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. As a further courtesy to our guests, DPAC recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance.

It Can Wait Please save texting until AFTER the show. The light from phones is distracting to others throughout the theater. Please keep them turned off.

It’s Superstar Entertainment, Not a Food Fest Small snacks and drinks are welcome in the seating area, but as a courtesy to those around you, eat and drink as quietly as possible. Please know that odors and noisy wrappers can disturb others. We also ask that you finish sandwiches or other large food items before entering the seating area.

Photography / Video Recording Using Mobile Phones At DPAC, each event that we host determines their own policy on photography and video recording using mobile phones.

Please note that GoPros, tablets, and cameras of any kind are prohibited at all DPAC events. All Broadway shows prohibit photography and video recording.

Quiet Please Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center of attention. We ask that you turn off all cell phones and limit conversation. If children are attending this performance with you, please exit the theater immediately if they become restless or talkative. 
