What People Are Saying About WPPAC

“Broadway is back and it’s in White Plains!!!”

Phyl N.

“I highly doubt you’ll find a live theatre experience like this anywhere else in New York—and I mean anywhere… This was my first show at the White Plains Performing Arts Center, and I’m pretty sure I said “Wow!” out loud… a Broadway-quality performance at a price so low that even the TKTS booth can’t come close… the comfort and value of the White Plains performance, combined with the overall level of professionalism, results in a very enjoyable evening… and I can hardly wait to see what they offer up next!“

Opplaud NY

“The theater is great! From seating to production. We just saw Beauty and the Beast. Bravo to all involved! It was really like being on Broadway for a fraction of the cost. Second row center for $45 and parking @ $3.00?! We had big smiles on our faces from start to finish!”

Nick Smacchia

“Beautiful theatre, run by wonderful artists committed to bringing quality theatre to Westchester! Don’t miss a production here.”

Paul Rigano

“WOW! This theater is one of my all time favorite “local” spots. It really is some of the best professional theatre outside of NYC that I have come across in recent years. Was lucky to catch their productions of Little Mermaid and Tarzan and my whole family (including my young ones) were amazed by the productions. Also, the fact that they still value hiring a full pit orchestra is outstanding and such a treat to listen to as an audience member.”

Jason R

“Is like Broadway without having to go into Manhattan.”

Ed Jimenez

“Wow, I have seen several productions at the theater and Beauty and the Beast was by far and away the best! WPPAC is a great place to see a show, the staff is always friendly and helpful and every seat in the small intimate theater is fabulous! Kudos to the staff and talented actors and actresses. I can’t wait to see the next production!”
