THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, PURCHASE COLLEGE (The Purchase PAC), a four-theatre complex located on the campus of Purchase College, SUNY, is the major professional, non-profit arts presenter in the Southeastern New York–Southwestern Connecticut region.
The Purchase PAC has long been a hub for highly skilled artists, civic and academic leaders, and volunteers who recognize the power of investing in the performing arts to spark creativity and connection.
Each season, The Purchase PAC presents a broad range of world-class performances by professional artists, offering music, dance, theatre, family programming, comedy, and film.
The PAC has a collaborative relationship with the Purchase College campus population, 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.
An active facility rental business focuses on providing space and support to high-quality musical recordings, film and TV shoots, and technical rehearsals.
The Purchase PAC's programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. The Purchase PAC is proud to be a grantee of ArtsWestchester with funding made possible by Westchester County government with the support of County Executive Kenneth W. Jenkins and the Board of Legislators.
