Devco, public officials break ground for New Brunswick Performing Arts Center


“We’ve already seen in New Brunswick what investment in the arts can do for our community,” Cahill said during the ceremony, which drew a packed crowd to the city’s Monuments Square Park. “I don’t think it’s simply a coincidence that New Brunswick and its arts organizations have a run a parallel course in their growth and resurgence.”

City breaks ground for $172 million performing arts center


The City of New Brunswick and the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO) broke ground on Oct. 4 for a 22-story, $172 million project in the center of the downtown performing arts district.

Known as the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC), the impressive 450,000-square-foot project will house the Crossroads Theater and George Street Playhouse, the American Repertory Ballet and a detachment of the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

@Cofifa Any updates on designs for the theaters?

Here is a detailed look at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center project



Theater spaces:

• The new theater complex will include two state-of-the-art, proscenium-style theaters, designed to accommodate musical theater, dance, opera and dramatic theater.
• The Lyric Theatre, which will seat 462 patrons, will feature an 86-foot stage, a 75-foot fly tower and a trap system, with an orchestra pit that will be able to accommodate 60-70 musicians.
• The playhouse, designed primarily for theatrical performances and smaller dancer performances, will have 252 seats and will feature a 60-foot stage and contemporary grid system for lighting and sound and will provide the NBPAC with additional flexibility for lecture, community and musical events to be accommodated.

WHAT’S IN STORE WHEN NEW BRUNSWICK PAC OPENS ITS DOORS?




State Sen. President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) was credited with helping the project clear a legislative hurdle. He said he was pleased the state could assist in bringing NBPAC to reality. “We are actually doing something here, we are creating jobs, we are making this place better than we found it,” he said.
