bergenPAC Announces New VIP Program to Benefit Performing Arts School

bergenPAC, now in its 10th season, is proud to announce a new VIP Membership program, bergenPACCESS, guaranteeing members a superior experience of world-class arts and entertainment. With varying commitment levels, bergenPACCESS offers guests the custom services they seek, such as: online music subscriptions, email sneak previews to newly scheduled shows, concierge ticketing, best available seat access, VIP Lounge Access, complimentary concessions, and complimentary orchestra tickets. As a non-profit organization, bergenPAC relies on the generosity of donors to meet the gap between ticket sales and operating costs; bergenPACCESS will allow patrons to further support the theater while receiving greater benefits of membership in return.

"It is truly an exciting moment for bergenPAC," says CEO Dominic Roncace. "Our patrons asked for more membership benefits, and we are happy to be able to deliver this to them. Their generosity allows bergenPAC to deliver great performances as well as enhance our arts education and community outreach programs; there is no greater gift."

In addition to funding scholarships at bergenPAC's Performing Arts School, bergenPACCESS membership will also allow for the donation of tickets to those in the surrounding community that would otherwise have limited access to the live performing arts. No matter the level, bergenPACCESS membership will fuel bergenPAC's commitment to keep the arts alive in our community, enhancing the quality of life, promoting arts education, and supporting the local economy.

Founded in 2003, the 1,367-seat Bergen Performing Arts Center, or bergenPAC, is the area's cultural mecca. Housed in a historic Art Deco-style theater boasting one of the finest acoustic halls in the United States, bergenPAC attracts a stellar roster of world-class entertainment. The jewel in our crown is The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC - the innovative, educational performing arts initiative that reaches more than 30,000 students annually. The Performing Arts School provides community youth, age 2 months to 21 years, with unique, "hands-on" training in music, dance and theater by industry professionals. It is through the ongoing generosity of sponsors, donors and patrons that the not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation bergenPAC and The Performing Arts School are able to thrive and enrich our community.
