About the Theatre

Through a combination of self-produced, professional theatrical productions as well as presentation of nationally and internationally known performing artists and companies in the disciplines of theatre, dance, music, stand-up comedy and children’s programming; WPPAC provides residents of White Plains and the surrounding communities an easily accessible, intimate and comfortable setting to see LIVE entertainment in the heart of Westchester County. The theater also provides a professional space for rentals to local arts and educational organizations, special interest groups and businesses to present their own performances and host meetings for a reasonable rate with the assistance of a professional staff. These organizations not only secure a professional venue for their event but also provide a diverse roster of artists and opportunities for many culturally specific communities. In addition, the White Plains Performing Arts Center’s EDUCATION DEPARTMENT is the ONLY educational theatre program in residence at a professional theatre in all of Westchester. The Education Department is a professional training and presentation program offered year-round for all theatrical artists between the ages of 10-25.
