New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC) — Attraction in New Brunswick

We were here for the Vipul Goyla show (Indian Standup comedian) in June 2024. It is right in the downtown of New Brunswick and easy to reach, it reminds me of the district of any big city. There are a couple of more theaters nearby.

It was not a big auditorium, we were in an auditorium (James M. Cahill Stage), with a capacity of app 500 folks. The show started on time, with no interruptions, Show went well and, after that, we got a chance to take a photo with Vipul Goyal- that was unexpected.

That may be something that is taken into more consideration when programming shows in this space. It pulled audience members out of the experience. I was drawn back into the performances by the consummate professionals on stage, but I'm sure they had to work harder to stay in it as they had unintentional competition to...

Several theatres with theatre companies that share this space. Crossroads Theatre Co. Is sponsoring community performances that reignite the appreciation and love for live theatre. When Day Comes, a new production centered around Sweet Honey and The Rock explored the effects of Covid-19 on individuals, specific populations, as well as social justice issues. Through the medium of movement, music, song etc. the artistry of a jazz capella group, that uses rhythms, skats, vocalizations, to bring insight, joy, release of emotions, humor, understanding and reflections about the state of the conditions in the USA. It also has a glimpse of hope, light and action. It ends with non- threatening, delightful audience participation in a song about peace. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it to others. This showing goes...
