bergenPAC Announces New Partnership with Westfield Garden State Plaza

As part of the partnership, bergenPAC will present two event series at Westfield Garden State Plaza. The series will include Family Fun Days, a family/kids series geared to ages 2-10, and a "Plaza Unplugged" series for music enthusiasts. As part of the synergistic relationship, Westfield Garden State Plaza will also sponsor a 10 show concert series at bergenPAC.

"We are thrilled at the opportunity to showcase our ability to provide world-class entertainment events not only at bergenPAC but also outside our venue," said Dominic Roncace, bergenPAC President & CEO. "We provide the highest caliber of entertainment at bergenPAC and it is a wonderful opportunity to show how we also provide quality entertainment and events for private parties, corporations, and now the gem that is Westfield Garden State Plaza."

The Family Fun Days will take place the second Saturday of every month beginning April 9th and will feature popular family/kids performances that last 30 minutes and will run hourly from 10 am until 1pm and admission is free of charge. Family Fun Days will kick off with Bubble Trouble, a one-man bubble extravaganza that mixes comedy, music and interactive bubble-magic that is fun for all ages.

The "Plaza Unplugged" series will occur weekly from April 21st through June 9th on Thursdays from 5pm-8pm. Events will include: a mix of up-and-coming acoustic performers and several dueling piano shows.

"Westfield Garden State Plaza is thrilled to partner with such an iconic Bergen County Landmark and nonprofit," said Bryan Gaus, Senior General Manager at Westfield Garden State Plaza. "Providing access to music and the arts enhances the customer experience and bergenPAC is the perfect partner to deliver this platform at Westfield."

As part of its mission as a non-profit 501c(3) organization, bergenPAC programs include cultural outreach, programming for individuals with special needs, and free tickets to organizations that serve individuals who would not otherwise have access to the arts for financial reasons. The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC offers classes in dance, theater, music, and more. Scholarships are available - no-one is turned away for inability to pay.
