Contributions will be used for the start of the capital campaign to secure the building, make the necessary renovations and raise the curtain on a performing arts center. A variety of levels of contribution are available with perks available for all.

The Downtown Performing Arts Center (DPAC) of Lambertville, NJ is recognized for excellence in arts education and quality performance opportunities. Over the past 12 years, DPAC has produced over 150 musicals and provided performing arts education to over 250 students. As a result of their high quality, affordable theatrical productions and professional training, DPAC has become an important part of the community.

The company currently operates the Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre in Titusville, NJ and celebrates its 5th season this year. Despite the success of the venue, it poses many obstacles to overcome, including rain, sudden thunderstorms, building sets to withstand the weather, excessive heat and bugs. The creation of an indoor theatrical venue will allow the group to expand on programming and arts education.
