2019-2020
My Fellow Supporters of the Arts, I am excited to share Bergen Performing Art Center's 2019-20 lineup with you today. Boasting a variety of headliners, up-and-comers and everything in between across the genres, we expect everyone will find something they love. Our lineup is as diverse as our region, and bergenPAC's nonprofit mission is to make the live performing arts and arts education accessible to everyone in our community. A major way that we deliver on that mission is with our Arts Access program. Considered one of the best of its kind in the country, we partner with 83 local organizations serving segments of the community who would not otherwise be able to attend shows and give away up to 200 free tickets to every performance. Last year, we distributed 12,000 tickets to community groups helping seniors, children and other residents facing challenging times. I am truly thankful to our supporters for making this possible. Arts education is another key to our mission. The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC provides 1,300 on-site students ages 3 to adult with introductory through pre-professional level classes in music, dance and theatre, along with opportunities to perform on the Taub Stage at bergenPAC. To make our programs accessible to everyone, we have scholarship opportunities so that no child is ever turned away because of financial hardship. We extend our mission further with Beyond bergenPAC, our educational outreach initiative, and bring teaching artist residencies, assemblies and co-theater productions to 142 schools in 96 school districts throughout eight counties. The initiative reaches nearly 16,000 students. None of this would be possible without our dedicated Board of Trustees, staff, sponsors, individual donors and, of course, the nearly 1,300,000 patrons who have embraced the spirit of bergenPAC as their own. Your support in keeping bergenPAC as Northern New Jersey's leading nonprofit performing arts and education institution is so important and appreciated. We will have exciting news to share about bergenPAC's future later this year, but for now, check out the shows coming up. I hope to see you at the theater soon. Sincerely,
Dominic Roncace President & CEO
