“The Hackensack Performing Arts Center is where stories come alive, creativity flourishes, and our community connects. We invite you to enjoy the arts in our theater and gallery, right in the cultural heart of our City’s Downtown.”
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
