Almost 10 years in the making, SOPAC evolved from an idea of then Village of South Orange President Bill Calabrese to bring a movie theater to town. The center evolved into a performance space that presents elite artists in an intimate theater and feature cinema and event space. It created dozens of jobs in the area, offers arts education and spur snew partnerships. It has also become a community gathering point and a regional point of arts pride. In its first ten months, SOPAC featured superstars Nancy Wilson, Olympia Dukakis, Paquito D'Rivera and Yo-Yo Ma among others. Praise came in from media like the New York Times and Star Ledger and from important politicians such as New Jersey's Senate President, Richard Codey, Essex County Executive Joseph D'Vincenzo and Governor Corzine himself, who selected SOPAC to host a public forum open to all in the state.
