About WPPAC
Broadway-caliber theatre and training in the heart of Westchester
A professional theatre in downtown White Plains
In November 2003, the City of White Plains fulfilled a 20-year dream: a 410-seat, state-of-the-art, professional Actors' Equity theatre on the third floor of the City Center building in downtown White Plains, an integral part of the revitalization of downtown, built to give the community year-round access to the performing arts.
Through self-produced professional productions and presentations of nationally and internationally known artists, theatre, dance, music, stand-up comedy and children's programming - WPPAC gives residents of White Plains and the surrounding communities an accessible, intimate and comfortable setting to see live entertainment in the heart of Westchester County.
Our mission
White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) is dedicated to artistic presentation of the highest caliber that moves, inspires, challenges and educates our audiences in an ever-changing, modern world.
Our artistic vision
WPPAC delivers a live experience that is immediate and visceral.
