Welcome to our 2024-2025 Season!

You will see the world differently after taking in a performance at The Purchase PAC. It is our shared home for extraordinary experiences, a place where artists come to collaborate and create, students come to hone their craft, and audiences come to find inspiration and connection.

Tonight's presentation of Frankenstein perfectly exemplifies what we mean when we talk about "extraordinary experiences." Performance collective Manual Cinema has developed an art form that is part film, part craft, part cinema, and all creativity and innovation. They will take us on a hauntingly beautiful journey, tell us a familiar story in an entirely new way, and then invite us up on stage to give us a view behind the curtain.

The Purchase PAC experience is about so much more than just sitting in a theatre, watching something happening on stage. It is about being in a fully activated space, and being part of a vibrant, multi-dimensional creative community. Thank you for sharing the experience with us tonight and for being a part of this community. I look forward to seeing you in the lobby.
