Isaac Mizrahi and More to Perform at Stockton Performing Arts Center This Spring

Actor, writer, designer and producer Isaac Mizrahi has revealed the spring 2026 season of Stockton University's Performing Arts Center, which also includes a mix of dance, opera and the music of Motown and Fleetwood Mac.

Mizrahi, who recently starred in the box-office hit "Marty Supreme," is an acclaimed fashion designer who starred on the TV show "Project Runway All Stars." Backed by a six-piece jazz band, his show at Stockton at 7:30 p.m. on April 18 will feature a blend of comedy, commentary and an array of classic songs from Stephen Sondheim to Blondie to Madonna.

"This spring season showcases the incredible diversity of the performing arts - from world-class opera and bold contemporary dance to the timeless sounds of Motown and Fleetwood Mac," said PAC Director Anjanette Christy. "We're proud to bring such a rich variety of performances to our stage and especially excited for Isaac Mizrahi's performance. The PAC offers something for every audience member to connect with and enjoy."

Ticket prices for each show vary, but discounts are available for Stockton students, staff, faculty and alumni. Go to the Performing Arts Center's website or call 609-652-9000 for more details and to purchase tickets.
