The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College (The PAC) is a four-theatre complex located on the campus of Purchase College, SUNY. We are the major professional, non-profit arts presenter in the Southeastern New York / Southwestern Connecticut region.
For more than 40 years, The PAC has been the hub of a creative community that brings together internationally acclaimed artists and rising stars, creative practitioners, civic and academic leaders, community activists, and an inspirational array of loyal patrons, volunteers, and friends who recognize the power of investing in the performing arts to spark creativity and connection.
The PAC has an active and collaborative relationship with the campus community, hosting performances for the Conservatories of Music, Dance, and Theatre Arts. Purchase College students can take advantage of master classes, on-site training, internships, job opportunities, and ticket discounts.
