Sharing the same backyard, bergenPAC and Westfield Garden State Plaza have solidified a solid and consistent community partnership. Since the relationship began in 2015, they have jointly produced various programs such as an emerging artist series and a premier series where singer-songwriters and Broadway actors perform their repertoire. The family series has always been a huge success and evolved over the years to what is now known as Broadway@GSPlaza. Using bergenPAC’s buying power and production expertise, they present great entertainment for mall patrons—everything from princesses, bubble artistry, puppets, magic, and talented PAS student performers. In exchange, the Garden State Plaza provides bergenPAC with an outreach platform and the space to present the arts outside of their historic theater located in downtown Englewood, NJ. The partnership also gives students from The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC the opportunity to perform live on stage, engage with the audience, and provide children with access to the arts.
Alexander Diaz, Creative Director of Education and Outreach for The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC, attests to the benefit of this partnership and said, “[it] is vitally important to the community as it gives opportunities for our students to perform live on stage and make a positive impact on the young audiences in attendance. These shows are fun, and energetic and give the audience free access to top talent entertainment with performances from our Performing Arts School students.”
