“Welcome to our wonderful new Hackensack PAC, the crown jewel of our emerging Downtown Renaissance. We hope you enjoy this fabulous new city facility and all of the great cultural and entertainment pleasure it brings!”
A Note from the Artistic Director
Welcome to HACPAC, the centerpiece of the City of Hackensack. As the Artistic Director, I am honored to safeguard a home that nurtures new artists across various disciplines. From playwrights to musicians, directors to choreographers, and visual artists, we provide a platform for creativity to flourish.
Our state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center is a haven for both emerging talents and established professionals, hosting premier performers including Broadway and Hollywood stars, as well as Grammy-winning artists. Building upon Hackensack’s rich legacy in arts and culture, we invite you to join us in celebrating the next generation of great artists and performers.
This beautiful theater embodies the City’s commitment to providing exceptional programming that exceeds expectations. Come and experience the best of the best, along with the talented up-and-coming artists who call Hackensack home.
As a proud product of Hackensack, I am compelled to give back to the community that raised me. Just as Hackensack High School and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts nurtured my talent, I am dedicated to providing the next generation with a home in this PAC, where they can cultivate their abilities and dreams.
-Gregory Liosi, Artistic Director
