We’re excited that you’ll be joining us for an upcoming show. Prior to your visit, we hope the information below will help you have a wonderful experience at our theatre. (CLICK HERE for a special 360 degree tour of the facility.)
BEFORE THE SHOW
Double-Check Your Tickets
Please confirm that your tickets or email confirmation have the time and date you expect and that you have the correct number of tickets.
If you have any questions about your tickets, our Box Office is open Monday-Friday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm and can be reached by phone at (914) 328-1600.
Running Time
Most shows run approximately 2 hours with one 10-15 minute intermission. If you’re paying for parking, it’s best to pay for 3 hours so you won’t have to worry about the meter running out during the performance.
Age Appropriate
While we eagerly invite patrons of ALL ages to enjoy our shows, certain productions have content that is intended for mature audiences. We do our best to advise suggested age limits, but parental discretion is sometimes necessary.
Find Us
The White Plains Performing Arts Center is conveniently located in downtown White Plains at 11 City Place on the 3rd Floor of City Center right next to the City Center Cinema De Lux and is easily accessible from Westchester, Rockland, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York City.

If you have any questions about your tickets when you get to the theatre or you’re picking up tickets, the Box Office is located just inside the glass doors and immediately on the right side of our lobby.
Parking
Parking at City Center is easily accessible with entrances to the Municipal Parking garage on North Broadway, Martine Avenue and Main Street. If you park on LEVEL 5 of the parking garage, you can access a sky bridge that deposits you onto the 3rd Floor of City Center and directly in front of our entrance. You can certainly park on ANY level of the garage, walk across to City Center and take the elevator or escalator to the 3rd Floor.
Parking is $1 per hour and can be paid for at the kiosks located on each level of the garage. There is an additional kiosk located just inside the atrium of City Center. You DO NOT need to leave to the parking receipt in your car. The theatre does not validate.
ParkWhite Plains, the new free parking app for the City of White Plains, is now up and running. Users can download the app with a quick registration process. ParkWhite Plains allows parkers to easily and quickly pay for parking without utilizing a meter, manage their parking, and extend their parking time remotely. The app also offers a visual countdown timer to help parkers keep track of the time left in their parking session.
