The Black Box Performing Arts Center continues to emerge as the Tri-State area's premiere destination for both cutting-edge professional theater and collaborative performing arts education - in the heart of Teaneck, NJ- just a quick ride over the George Washington Bridge.

Sam Shepard's Buried Child, winter of the 1979 Pulitzer Prize, continues BBPAC's second full 2017-18 season of professional theater, which includes four more 'mainstage' productions, two ongoing immersive late-night rock musicals, two ongoing pop musicals for kids, and the development of at least three original works for the stage.
