WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR

Greetings

O

n behalf of the City of Durham, I would like to welcome you to DPAC! Like so many of our residents, I consider DPAC one of the true jewels of Durham and the entire Triangle region.

Since opening its doors in 2008, DPAC has filled our city with energy, excitement, and world-class entertainment. Season after season, it continues to attract visitors from near and far with unforgettable performances that light up the stage.

This season is no exception — featuring some of Broadway’s biggest hits, along with can’t-miss concerts, comedy shows, and special events. I’m especially thrilled to see so many fan favorites returning and new performers making their DPAC debut.

And, as always, the full DPAC experience awaits you — the beauty of the theater, the legendary customer service, and the easy access to all that downtown Durham has to offer. Whether you’re grabbing dinner at a local restaurant, visiting nearby museums, or simply strolling through our vibrant downtown, your visit to DPAC is also a chance to experience the spirit of Durham.

As your Mayor, one of the true joys of this role is welcoming you to one of the greatest theaters in the world. But don’t just take my word for it — since 2010, DPAC has consistently ranked among the top ten theaters and performing arts centers in the nation, earning national awards and recognition from Billboard, Pollstar, and the International Entertainment Buyers Association.

Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham. Enjoy the show and your time here — I know it will be an unforgettable experience.  In Service and Gratitude,

Leonardo Williams – Mayor @CityofDurhamNC

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

"Welcome to DPAC!"

T

his performance and really all events at DPAC offer a special opportunity.

It’s a moment to come together and be part of a shared experience. A story, a journey, told with songs, music, words… encouraging sometimes tears and often laughter.

It’s a moment to set aside our differences, our worries, and all that separates us. As the lights go down and the stars take the stage, we each have the opportunity to be drawn closer to a place where our collective spirits soar.

On behalf of the dozens of full-time and hundreds of part-time staff, all of whom are dedicated to their roles and work so hard, we’re glad you are here. Everyone on our team at DPAC is committed to making this event be among the very best ever.

At DPAC, we love each of the live entertainment events that take our stage, and we love all that goes into hosting both you, our guests, and the greatest shows in the world.

Thank you for this chance to share our passion for the live experience, along with the energy and the magic of these shared moments and special performances at DPAC. 

MOBILE ENTRY AT DPAC

PHOTO BY MICHAEL GILLMAN

Your phone is 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. It is critical for venues to know who is in possession of each ticket in order to share important information with them before the doors open and the show begins.

With mobile entry, 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 and eliminates 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 websites that mimic DPAC’s name or website or offer tickets they might not even have. Go directly to DPACnc.com. 

PERFORMING ARTS SHOWSTOPPERS AT DPAC

P

erforming Arts Showstoppers at DPAC is a community program for area high school students who both love smiling and saying hello AND seeing DPAC’s biggest shows.

Throughout the season, Showstoppers gain real-world customer experience while welcoming guests with genuine and kind greetings as they arrive at DPAC for the very biggest shows on tour.

The Showstopper program offers students the following:

The best of high school musical theater talent in our region

T

he DPAC Rising Star Awards celebrates the performing arts in our schools by recognizing outstanding achievements in high school musical theater throughout central North Carolina. The program focuses attention on the meaningful work being done both on and off stage by dedicated teachers and students.

As the regional qualifying event for The National High School Musical Theatre Awards™ (NHSMTA), also known as The Jimmy Awards®, The DPAC Rising Star Awards brings together high school musical theater students from Durham, the Triangle and the surrounding region to perform and compete for a chance to represent DPAC in the national finals in New York City.

THE DPAC RISING STAR AWARDS

The DPAC Rising Star Awards will take place at DPAC on Sunday, May 17, 2026.

The event will feature twenty student finalists as they compete live for their chance to advance to the national level at the Jimmy Awards in New York City. Throughout the course of the evening, 17 awards will be presented recognizing excellence in a broad range of categories. Hosted by Clay Aiken and adjudicated live by a panel of esteemed judges, this event will not be one to miss.

Last spring, DPAC named Carmen Sophia Dubon (Weaver Academy) and Josiah Jennings (Hillside High School) The DPAC Rising Star Awards’ Best Actress and Best Actor winners. Carmen and Josiah then went on to compete nationally at The Jimmy Awards®.

This year, the national competition included a total of 110 nominees representing 55 Regional Awards Programs from across the country. Carmen and Josiah worked with Broadway professionals and made their Broadway debuts on Nederlander’s Minskoff Stage, where Disney’s The Lion King performs to sold out audiences nightly.

Additionally, KoKo Thornton (Enloe High School) represented The DPAC Rising Star Awards on the national level this past spring. She was one of two teachers from across the country to receive the Inspiring Teacher Award during the Jimmy Awards in 2025. KoKo, Carmen, and Josiah represented DPAC and Central North Carolina exceptionally, and we cannot wait to see their bright futures.

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 house lights 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 reentry 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. We enforce these policies at their direction.

Please note that GoPros, tablets, and cameras of any kind are prohibited at all DPAC events. Photography and video recording using mobile phones is not permitted at all Broadway shows.

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. 
