About The Durham Performing Arts Center 

The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) is a $44 million,
state-of-the-art performing arts venue under construction at the corner
of Mangum and Vivian Streets in downtown Durham.  The DPAC will feature
North Carolina's largest stage for major Broadway shows, opera,
concerts, drama, and family shows. There are 2,800 seats in a very
intimate setting with no seat more than 135 feet from the stage. The
DPAC is owned by the City of Durham and will be managed by
Nederlander/PFM, a partnership combining Nederlander, the world's
largest owner and producer of Broadway shows, with PFM, manager of a
number of performing arts facilities in the United States.  To learn
