A Note from the Artistic Director

HACPAC stands as Hackensack’s cultural centerpiece, nurturing artists across disciplines. Our Performing Arts Center provides a platform for emerging and established talents, from Broadway stars to Grammy-winning musicians. We celebrate creativity and offer a home for the next generation of performers.

As a Hackensack native, I am committed to giving back to the community that shaped my artistic journey. Just as local institutions supported my growth, we now provide a space for aspiring artists to cultivate their talents and dreams.

-Gregory Liosi, Artistic Director
