WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Dear Friends…

O

n 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 

12 | DPAC

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

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.

PHOTO BY HUTH PHOTO

•

•

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

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.

MOBILE ENTRY AT DPAC

PHOTO BY HUTH PHOTO

Your Phone is Now Your Ticket

M

obile 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. 

Help local students experience their first ever Broadway show

D

iscover 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. 

GUEST ETIQUETTE

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. 
